1) Rep. Jamie Kang (R-NY) proposed a bill entitled "Department of Energy Research Funding for Alternative Energy Sources." The majority opinion of the HEW committee is that the search for alternative energy is crucial to our nation's future success. There was no minority opinion.
Rep. Kottapalli (D-CA) wanted to know what particular alternative technologies would be researched. In response, Rep. Kang (R-NY) responded with a couple of examples, such as clean coal and other alternatives. She also explained that about $10 billion would be allocated to this investigation over the course of 5 years. In addition to researching, the progress would be reviewed on a yearly basis.
Bill passed 11-0-1. President Normandin signed the bill.
