The bill is directed towards the Secretary of Energy in order to help out the schools and other facilities that are working to provide clean energy projects. This bill will provide grants to educational agencies/committies, covering up to 50% of the cost to host a clean energy project that will work to conserve energy and equip schools and other facilities with renewable power sources. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">[|Sources of Renewable Energy] <span style="font-size: 110%; font-family: Georgia,serif;"> <span style="font-size: 110%; font-family: Georgia,serif;">       //<span style="font-size: 130%; font-family: Georgia,serif;">**History of the Clean Energy Partnership Act of 2007** // Energy has been wasted and abused for many years in the United States of America. Here are some ways we have wasted it and ways that we can conserve it and use renewable energy. (1) We over heat and over cool our homes, businesses, offices, schools, churches, etc... (2) 100's of millions of outdoor lights burn during the day. (3) Over packaging is the norm. Recycling is inadequate. Our landfills are busier than ever. (4) Most Americans do not minimize their driving. Congestion is horrendous. (5) Road construction in America is the ultimate contradiction. We can stop this crisis by using renewable energy and finding ways to not have to depend on harming gases, and coal being burned for heating. The world energy demand is projected to increase by fifty percent between now and 2030. This energy path we are projected to go on is unsustainable and this bill will help sustain energy so this will not happen.

Having more materials and tools can help make this time they use more effective, and we can do more of these projects, which would help a lot with our energy issues.
