This book reviews the status of energy efficiency and renewable
energy legislation introduced during the 110th Congress. Most
action in the second session is focused on the FY2009 budget
request, the Farm Bill (H.R. 2419), and the proposed Renewable
Energy and Energy Conservation Tax Act (H.R. 5351). DOE's FY2009
budget request seeks $1,256.1 million for DOE's Energy Efficiency
and Renewable Energy (EERE) programs, compared to FY2008
appropriations of $1,722.4 million for EERE. H.R. 5351 is similar
to H.R. 2776. It would extend or re-establish several tax
incentives that would support renewable electricity production,
biofuels production, transportation efficiency and conservation,
buildings efficiency, and equipment efficiency. The bill proposes
to offset the cost of those incentives primarily by reducing two
subsidies for oil and natural gas production.
