[Q]: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''Teacher and Nurse Support Act of
2007''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) According to the National Center for Education
Statistics, over the next 10 years, the United States will need
more than 2,000,000 new teachers to replace the teachers who
are retiring or leaving the classroom for other careers.
(2) The Hart-Rudman National Security Report on education
recommended that the President direct the Department of
Education to work with the States to devise a comprehensive
plan to avert a looming shortage of high-quality teachers.
(3) According to the National Center for Education
Statistics, 20 percent of all new teachers leave the teaching
profession within 3 years. Providing loan forgiveness or loan
cancellation is one step that would help retain high-quality
teachers in schools that need teachers.
(4) The American Hospital Association has reported more
than 118,000 unfilled registered nurse positions in hospitals
in the United States. Additionally, the National Commission on
Nursing Workforce for Long-Term Care released a report in May,
2005, stating that there are nearly 100,000 vacant nursing
positions in long-term care facilities on any given day, and
the nurse turnover rate exceeds 50 percent. The shortage is
costing long-term care facilities an estimated $4 billion a
year in recruitment and training expenses.
(5) College loans are more of a burden than ever for
students and families. According to a recent United States
Public Interest Research Group report, average student loan
debt almost doubled from $9,200 in 1992-1993 to $16,928 in
1999-2000.
(b) Purpose.--The purpose of this Act is to improve access to, and
the delivery of, high-quality educational and health services
throughout the United States by reducing the shortage of qualified
teachers and nurses.

[Q]: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''Transparent Review of the
Affordability and Cost of Electricity (TRACE) Renewable Energy Act of
2010''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

Congress finds the following:
(1) Federal energy-specific subsidies and support to all
forms of energy were estimated to be $16.6 billion in 2007,
indicating that total Federal energy subsidies have more than
doubled over the previous ten years, according to the Federal
Financial Interventions and Subsidies in Energy Markets 2007
report by the Energy Information Administration.
(2) Research, development, and installation of renewable
and other low-emission technologies for electric power
generation have been a high priority for the 110th and 111th
Congresses.
(3) There is a growing need for accurate reporting on the
costs associated with each form of alternative energy
generation technology because of the significant Federal action
and investment in such technology.
(4) The costs associated with alternative energy generation
technology should be analyzed and made available to assess the
ability of each new technology to compete in the marketplace,
without Federal subsidy or support, and to optimize the
deployment of such technology.
(5) The Energy Information Administration has previously
created forms and guidelines to collect the necessary
information for such reporting and has collected information
for several years; however, the program ended due to funding
constraints and the lack of an authorization from Congress.

SEC. 3. ELECTRIC PRODUCTION COST REPORT.

''(2) The cost of electricity generation in cents per
kilowatt hour, or dollars per megawatt hour, for each type of
electric energy generation in the United States.
