(1) A coherent national energy strategy requires
an energy research and development program that
supports basic energy research and provides mecha-
nisms to develop, demonstrate, and deploy new energy
technologies in partnership with industry.
(2) An aggressive national energy research, de-
velopment, demonstration, and technology deployment
program is an integral part of a national climate
change strategy, because it can reduce—
(A) United States energy intensity by 1.9
percent per year from 1999 to 2020;
(B) United States energy consumption in
2020 by 8 quadrillion Btu from otherwise ex-
pected levels; and
(C) United States carbon dioxide emissions
from expected levels by 166 million metric tons
in carbon equivalent in 2020.
(3) An aggressive national energy research, de-
velopment, demonstration, and technology deployment
program can help maintain domestic United States
production of energy, increase United States hydro-
carbon reserves by 14 percent, and lower natural gas
prices by 20 percent, compared to estimates for 2020.
