This is because the goverment is providing grants to these local agencies. <span style="color: rgb(71, 14, 241);"><span style="color: rgb(52, 109, 218);"> <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="color: rgb(71, 14, 241);">  <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="color: rgb(71, 14, 241);">    <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="color: rgb(71, 14, 241);"> <span style="color: rgb(71, 14, 241);"> <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="color: rgb(71, 14, 241);"> <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="color: rgb(71, 14, 241);"> <span style="color: rgb(71, 14, 241);"> <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="color: rgb(71, 14, 241);">  <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="color: rgb(71, 14, 241);"> <span style="color: rgb(71, 14, 241);"> <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="color: rgb(71, 14, 241);">  <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="color: rgb(71, 14, 241);">Summary: <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="color: rgb(30, 208, 241);">This bill was c <span style="color: rgb(30, 208, 241);">reated to direct the Secretary of Energy to give grants to the local educational agencies covering up to 50% of their cost. This means that the Secretary of Energy gives grants to local schools <span style="color: rgb(30, 208, 241);"> that's energy is at least 50% energy efficient. The other 50% energy can be non energy efficient. This is a way that schools can save money by using this grant, and making their schools 50% energy efficient. <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="color: rgb(71, 14, 241);"><span style="color: rgb(30, 208, 241);"> <span style="color: rgb(53, 9, 236);"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="color: rgb(71, 14, 241);">History: Conserving energy has been a world wide issue for many years. In the last decade it has even gotten worse. IPA said <span style="color: rgb(13, 248, 17);">**"** <span style="color: rgb(248, 66, 13);">**Energy remains crucial to economic development in a world where over 1.6 billion people have no access to electricity. While the media and government focus has been on greener and cleaner ways to generate power through renewable sources like biofuels, wind, solar and hydrogen, experts say that major improvements in energy efficiency could dramatically reduce emissions of greenhouse gases, save money and provide the breathing space needed to improve and develop new energy sources." <span style="color: rgb(54, 232, 33);"> To me this means that we need to conserve energy. This is to help our enviroment so that the many people in our world can have a better chance to have energy by doing these little things like this bill. Now, people are conserving energy more than ever. People do not think about it, and just leave the room and do not turn off the lights, the fan or the radio. There are also many other ways that people hurt our world. This bill is just another example of how people can do such little things, but they are making their conrtibutions to helping the enviroment. **  <span style="color: rgb(53, 9, 236);"> <span style="color: rgb(248, 66, 13);"><span style="color: rgb(54, 232, 33);"> <span style="color: rgb(54, 232, 33);">
