SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds that— 
(1) the dependence of the United States on for-
eign oil is projected to remain dangerously high over 
the next few decades unless serious action is taken; 
(2) over 1⁄3 of the trade deficit of the United 
States over the last year is because of imported pe-
troleum products; 
(3) oil prices in the United States have risen 
more than 95 percent over the last 2 years and are 
projected to remain at, or exceed, historically high 
levels for the foreseeable future; 
(4) Brazil has drastically decreased oil imports 
by aggressively promoting biofuels and flexible fuel 
vehicles; 
(5) using renewable energy, promoting clean 
coal technology, and offering incentives for energy 
efficiency will improve air quality and reduce the de-
mand for imported natural gas; 
(6) transmission capacity constraints prevent 
some regions of the United States from fully devel-
oping domestic energy resources;

(7) the United States has abundant domestic 
resources to create alternative fuels that will dra-
matically lessen dependence on foreign oil; 
(8) increasing funding for research, develop-
ment, and commercialization of new energy tech-
nologies will enable the United States to significantly 
reduce the reliance of the United States on foreign 
energy suppliers; 
(9) a bold energy plan to make the United 
States more energy-independent should be imple-
mented immediately; and 
(10) a bold and comprehensive energy plan will 
help keep energy prices affordable for consumers in 
the United States. 
(b) PURPOSES.—The purposes of this Act are— 
(1) to reduce the dependence of the United 
States on foreign oil; 
(2) to expand the production and use of alter-
native fuels and alternative fuel vehicles; 
(3) to promote the development of renewable 
energy sources for electricity production; 
(4) to encourage responsible development of do-
mestic fossil fuel resources; and 
(5) to reward consumers and businesses for 
conservation and energy efficiency.
