State of the RPS Bill
Filed in archive Base Effort on February 26, 2007
I wonder how it will all go. I would imagine that after the deliberations, the debates and the lobbying, the smoke will clear and the legislation introduced by Congressman Tom Udall of New Mexico will finally see light. That legislation, introduced this month on Capitol Hill, will require many US utilities to generate 20 percent of their electricity from renewable energy resources by 2020. House Bill 969 most significant purpose is the amendment of the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 that will establish "a Federal renewable energy portfolio standard for certain retail electric utilities and for other purposes" wherein renewable energy refers to solar (including solar water heating), wind, ocean, tidal, geothermal energy, biomass, landfill gas or incremental hydropower.
Now I wonder where in the agenda of congress it is.
