Purpose of the Bill-
The bill # S.AMDT.3614 is to reduce our nations dependency on foreign oil by investing in clean, renewable, and alternative energy resources. The purpose of this bill is to reduce and loosen the grip that foreign countries have on the U.S because of the demand for oil. The bill is also not supporting drilling in our country. The sponsors and cosponsors of the bill are trying to enforce the fact that our world needs a new energy source instead of oil. The environment is dying and slowly suffacating from the pollution from oil and gasoiline usage. The bill is composed of two purposes. The first is to reduce our dependency on foreign oil, and the second part is to invest in clean energy sources that are renewable. The sponsors of the billl believe our country is not as strong when the U.S is being held back by the demand we have for oil from foreign countries.

History of this Issue -
The history of this issue dates back to the years before B.C. Some scientists believe that pollution from our cars and power plants will kill half the animal species by 2050 because of global warming and pollution. The scienctists have been interested to fight and study for cleaner energy sources. Also in 200 B.C China discovered the wind mill. In 3200 B.C the Egyptians discovered and created a water mill that creates energy.

Who will this issue affect? Why is it important?
This issue is extremely important in these difficult economic times. Oil is America's and many other powerful countries main energy source. Most of the oil used in The United States is brought in from foreign countries. No one really knows, but there is a theory that the earth's ability to keep suppling oil could be up to it's final days, months, or years. Oil is a nonrenewable energy source and it is also killing and injuring the environment with the amount pollution in the air. The world is also undergoing global warming because of the nonrenewable resource oil and how it is polluting the Earth. This amendment will affect everyone in the world because if the U.S starts being eco friendly then other country's will see our success and follow in example.
