U.S. President Barack Obama has made transforming the country into a leader in clean energy innovation a key goal of his administration. During the campaign, he set a goal to generate 25 percent of power from renewable energy by 2025.
The Senate legislation's mandate is much less aggressive, mandating that power plants meet targets to gradually produce more renewable power, beginning with 3 percent of their output between 2011 and 2013 and rising to 15 percent between 2021 and 2039.
Sanders and other lawmakers have attacked the panel's renewable power mandate as too low, while others have said it will hurt those states without much solar or wind resources.

This will be a terrible thing if this passes to every American for a cause that does not exist. There is no such thing as man made global warming and to make companies and people to use less energy is going to put everyone in the poor house, especially the poor. You will cost peoples jobs and businesses to close. The only reason is to usher in the new communist power by controlling every citizen like in England, etc, where you will have the Obama's Youth Core to police people on their use of water, energy etc where we the American people will be pentalized with high fees. And to reduce 25%, is rediculous and not obtainable for a cause that does not exist. There are better things to do that this nonsense.
ReplyDeleteActually we need more power plants and refineries, none has been built in the last 40 years, but our population as risen greatly.
