Renewables Making Progress on Capitol Hill

Although federal energy legislation will probably not pass this year, the high number of bills addressing renewable energy in Congress indicates the maturation and growing popularity of renewables, according to various experts in the renewable energy industries.
Both partial and comprehensive energy bills supporting the solar, wind, biofuels, biomass, geothermal and oceanic energy industries have been introduced in the House and Senate. Many of them add to provisions created in the 2005 Energy Policy Act, which was seen as an important step for renewables.
