On May 12, 2011 the House presented a discussion draft energy bill. The House legislation would provide funds for rebuilding our highways, bridges, locks, dams, and water and sewer systems, which need an estimated $2.2 trillion in repairs according to the American Society of Civil Engineers. The plan also provides the financing for energy conservation projects of our buildings, farms, factories and households, which waste between 20 and 40 percent of energy consumed through inefficiencies. The discussion draft as well as the anlysis and statements released by the Bipartisan Energy Working Group are included below.
