John Peterson- Republican

About the Billtoc :
This bill wants to enhance the Nation's path towards energy independence. This bill wants to amend the federal policy to increase the making of new energy sources.

Summary:
This bill plans to give an extension of credit to members of society for using energy efficient appliances like, solar sun panels, windmills, and pug-in hybrid vehicles/hybrid vehicles. These are just some ways that this bill will help the environment and we can have cleaner air. This bill is wanting America to be more energy independent, doing this will help out National Security with foreign countries and trading.

People affected by the Bill:
This bill affects anyone and everyone that will take part in the plan to make America a cleaner and more safe place to live. In the end, this will affect the whole world because we are making the planet "greener."

Background/History:
This is an example of what happens when we drill for oil. This releases harmful gases into the air and hurts many things. These gases hurts the species that live in that area, they spoil water lines, it's dangerous because there could be a oil spill into a shore and ruin the waters, and it gives harmful diseases to small children such as brain damage and asthma.

Many homes, buildings, and schools are changing their ways towards a eco-friendly building. One way of having a eco-friendly residence is to have solar sun panels instead of lights. This really save energy and coal. This also saves the forests being destroyed from turning into coal industries to make energy for homes, buildings, and schools.

Another way to save energy is to have wind mills. The wind mills are used for capturing wind and using that and converting it to energy. These are also good for the forests that don't have to be cut down because it's a better alternative. It's cleaner and less expensive to make.

Another way to save energy is through hybrid cars. Instead of having to drill in America's resources and tear down forests and release carbon into the air.

Many stores in America have reusable bags so costumers can come back for more in an eco-friendy way and still get their groceries. This is a good idea because the plastic bag never gets reused.
