This summer SmartPower’s fresh crop of interns will be offering some fresh views on how to be Energy Smart as they immerse themselves in clean energy and energy efficiency.
Last Friday on June 25, the American Clean Energy and Security Act 20009 (ACESA) narrowly made it past the House with a 219 to 212 vote, a landmark piece of legislation that finally serves up an actionable clean energy policy. While some bemoan the cap-and-trade compromise tethered to the bill, there is no denying its long-overdue salience.
The Waxman-Markey sponsored legislation lays the groundwork for a viable clean energy market: it creates a renewable energy standard (RES), requiring utilities in each state to purchase 20% of electricity from renewable sources by 2020; sets a cap on emissions with a goal of a 17% total cut by 2020; and promotes green jobs and clean technology proliferation.
