SEC. 3002. FINDINGS. 
Congress finds the following: 
(1) Energy efficiency is in our national interest 
for our long term economic well being, for the health 
and safety of our citizens and the world, and for our 
independence and security. 
(2) Small businesses are more efficient, nimble, 
and innovative than large businesses and therefore 
more likely to integrate and benefit from energy effi-
cient technology advances and upgrades, but they 
are less likely to have the capital to institute these 
advances quickly. 
(3) The majority of businesses (two-thirds) say 
they have been unable to invest in comprehensive en-
ergy efficiency programs for their businesses thus 
far, though they know of them and believe they are 
effective. 
(4) A pilot program has demonstrated that in-
dividualized counseling and training combined with 
loan and grant availability and other incentives are 
very popular and effective in helping small busi-
nesses learn about and adopt energy conservation 
methods. 
(5) The energy saving benefit of such programs, 
if they can be implemented on a national basis,
