would contribute significantly to our energy inde-
pendence and security. 
(6) New and emerging technologies are on the 
rise, and small businesses are leading the way, for 
example the vast majority of renewable fuels pro-
ducers, such as biodiesel and ethanol, are small busi-
nesses. 
(7) Small businesses currently use almost half 
of the Nation’s business related energy consumption 
and employ half of the Nation’s workforce, yet the 
Energy Star program, the lead Federal energy effi-
ciency program allocates less than 2 percent of its 
resources to its small business program and should 
allocate more to educate small businesses. 
(8) Therefore, it is in the national interest for 
the Federal Government to invest in incentives in 
the form of improved loan terms, additional invest-
ment inducements, and expert counseling and infor-
mation to assist small businesses to develop, invest 
in, and purchase energy efficient buildings, equip-
ment, fixtures, and other technology.
