                               DIVISION B

SEC. 2001. SHORT TITLE.

    This division may be cited as the ``Comprehensive Energy Research 
and Technology Act of 2001''.

SEC. 2002. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds that--
            (1) the Nation's prosperity and way of life are sustained 
        by energy use;
            (2) the growing imbalance between domestic energy 
        production and consumption means that the Nation is becoming 
        increasingly reliant on imported energy, which has the 
        potential to undermine the Nation's economy, standard of 
        living, and national security;
            (3) energy conservation and energy efficiency help maximize 
        the use of available energy resources, reduce energy shortages, 
        lower the Nation's reliance on energy imports, mitigate the 
        impacts of high energy prices, and help protect the environment 
        and public health;
            (4) development of a balanced portfolio of domestic energy 
        supplies will ensure that future generations of Americans will 
        have access to the energy they need;
            (5) energy efficiency technologies, renewable and 
        alternative energy technologies, and advanced energy systems 
        technologies will help diversify the Nation's energy portfolio 
        with few adverse environmental impacts and are vital to 
        delivering clean energy to fuel the Nation's economic growth;
            (6) development of reliable, affordable, and 
        environmentally sound energy efficiency technologies, renewable 
        and alternative energy technologies, and advanced energy 
        systems technologies will require maintenance of a vibrant 
        fundamental scientific knowledge base and continued scientific 
        and technological innovations that can be accelerated by 
        Federal funding, whereas commercial deployment of such systems 
        and technologies are the responsibility of the private sector;
            (7) Federal funding should focus on those programs, 
        projects, and activities that are long-term, high-risk, 
        noncommercial, and well-managed, and that provide the potential 
        for scientific and technological advances; and
            (8) public-private partnerships should be encouraged to 
        leverage scarce taxpayer dollars.

SEC. 2003. PURPOSES.

    The purposes of this division are to--
            (1) protect and strengthen the Nation's economy, standard 
        of living, and national security by reducing dependence on 
        imported energy;
            (2) meet future needs for energy services at the lowest 
        total cost to the Nation, including environmental costs, giving 
        balanced and comprehensive consideration to technologies that 
        improve the efficiency of energy end uses and that enhance 
        energy supply;
            (3) reduce the air, water, and other environmental impacts 
        (including emissions of greenhouse gases) of energy production, 
        distribution, transportation, and use through the development 
        of environmentally sustainable energy systems;
            (4) consider the comparative environmental impacts of the 
        energy saved or produced by specific programs, projects, or 
        activities;
            (5) maintain the technological competitiveness of the 
        United States and stimulate economic growth through the 
        development of advanced energy systems and technologies;
            (6) foster international cooperation by developing 
        international markets for domestically produced sustainable 
        energy technologies, and by transferring environmentally sound, 
        advanced energy systems and technologies to developing 
        countries to promote sustainable development;
            (7) provide sufficient funding of programs, projects, and 
        activities that are performance-based and modeled as public-
        private partnerships, as appropriate; and
            (8) enhance the contribution of a given program, project, 
        or activity to fundamental scientific knowledge.

                            (ii) cut the environmental impact and 
                        energy use of new housing by 50 percent, 
                        compared to the impact and use as of the date 
                        of the enactment of this Act; and
                            (iii) improve durability and reduce 
                        maintenance costs by 50 percent compared to the 
                        durability and costs as of the date of the 
                        enactment of this Act.
                    (B) For the Industry Sector, the program should, in 
                cooperation with the affected industries, improve the 
                energy intensity of the major energy-consuming 
                industries by at least 25 percent by 2010, compared to 
                the energy intensity as of the date of the enactment of 
                this Act.
                    (C) For Power Technologies, the program should, in 
                cooperation with the affected industries--
                            (i) develop a microturbine (40 to 300 
                        kilowatt) that is more than 40 percent more 
                        efficient by 2006, and more than 50 percent 
                        more efficient by 2010, compared to the 
                        efficiency as of the date of the enactment of 
                        this Act; and
                            (ii) develop advanced materials for 
                        combustion systems that reduce emissions of 
                        nitrogen oxides by 30 to 50 percent while 
                        increasing efficiency 5 to 10 percent by 2007, 
                        compared to such emissions as of the date of 
                        the enactment of this Act.
                    (D) For the Transportation Sector, the program

                        trucks and buses with ultra low emissions and 
                        the ability to use an alternative fuel that has 
                        an average fuel economy equivalent to--
                                    (I) 10 miles per gallon of gasoline 
                                by 2007; and
                                    (II) 13 miles per gallon of 
                                gasoline by 2010;

                                percent; and
                                    (II) in classes 3 through 6 by 200 
                                percent,
                        compared to the fuel economy as of the date of 
                        the enactment of this Act.
            (2) Renewable energy.--
                    (A) For Hydrogen Research, to carry out the Spark 
                M. Matsunaga Hydrogen Research, Development, and 
                Demonstration Act of 1990, as amended by subtitle A of 
                title II of this division.
                    (B) For bioenergy:
                            (i) The program should reduce the cost of 
                        bioenergy relative to other energy sources to 
                        enable the United States to triple bioenergy 
                        use by 2010.
                            (ii) For biopower systems, the program 
                        should reduce the cost of such systems to 
                        enable commercialization of integrated power-
                        generating technologies that employ gas 
                        turbines and fuel cells integrated with 
                        bioenergy gasifiers within 5 years after the 
                        date of the enactment of this Act.
                            (iii) For biofuels, the program should 
                        accelerate research, development, and 
                        demonstration on advanced enzymatic hydrolysis 
                        technology for making ethanol from cellulosic 
                        feedstock, with the goal that between 2010 and 
                        2015 ethanol produced from energy crops would 
                        be fully competitive in terms of price with 
                        gasoline as a neat fuel, in either internal 
                        combustion engines or fuel cell vehicles.
                    (C) For Geothermal Technology Development, the 
                program should focus on advanced concepts for the long 
                term. The first priority should be high-grade enhanced 
                geothermal systems; the second priority should be lower 
                grade, hot dry rock, and geopressured systems; and the 
                third priority should be support of field 
                demonstrations of enhanced geothermal systems 
                technology, including sites in lower grade areas to 
                demonstrate the benefits of reservoir concepts to 
                different conditions.
                    (D) For Hydropower, the program should provide a 
                new generation of turbine technologies that will 
                increase generating capacity and will be less damaging 
                to fish and aquatic ecosystems.
                    (E) For Concentrating Solar Power, the program 
                should strengthen ongoing research, development, and 
                demonstration combining high-efficiency and high-
                temperature receivers with advanced thermal storage and 
                power cycles, with the goal of making solar-only power 
                (including baseload solar power) widely competitive 
                with fossil fuel power by 2015. The program should 
                limit or halt its research and development on power-
                tower and power-trough technologies because further 
                refinements to these concepts will not further their 
                deployment, and should assess the market prospects for 
                solar dish/engine technologies to determine whether 
                continued research and development is warranted.
                    (F) For Photovoltaic Energy Systems, the program 
                should pursue research, development, and demonstration 
                that will, by 2005, increase the efficiency of thin 
                film modules from the current 7 percent to 11 percent 
                in multi-million watt production; reduce the direct 
                manufacturing cost of photovoltaic modules by 30 
                percent from the current $2.50 per watt to $1.75 per 
                watt by 2005; and establish greater than a 20-year 
                lifetime of photovoltaic systems by improving the 
                reliability and lifetime of balance-of-system 
                components and reducing recurring cost by 40 percent. 
                The program's top priority should be the development of 
                sound manufacturing technologies for thin-film modules, 
                and the program should make a concerted effort to 
                integrate fundamental research and basic engineering 
                research.
                    (G) For Solar Building Technology Research, the 
                program should complete research and development on new 
                polymers and manufacturing processes to reduce the cost 
                of solar water heating by 50 percent by 2004, compared 
                to the cost as of the date of the enactment of this 
                Act.
                    (H) For Wind Energy Systems, the program should 
                reduce the cost of wind energy to three cents per 
                kilowatt-hour at Class 6 (15 miles-per-hour annual 
                average) wind sites by 2004, and 4 cents per kilowatt-
                hour in Class 4 (13 miles-per-hour annual average) wind 
                sites by 2015, and further if required so that wind 
                power can be widely competitive with fossil-fuel-based 
                electricity in a restructured electric industry. 
                Program research on advanced wind turbine technology 
                should focus on turbulent flow studies, durable 
                materials to extend turbine life, blade efficiency, and 
                higher efficiency operation in low quality wind 
                regimes.
                    (I) For Electric Energy Systems and Storage, 
                including High Temperature Superconducting Research and 
                Development, Energy Storage Systems, and Transmission 
                Reliability, the program should develop high capacity 
                superconducting transmission lines and generators, 
                highly reliable energy storage systems, and distributed 
                generating systems to accommodate multiple types of 
                energy sources under common interconnect standards.
                    (J) For the International Renewable Energy and 
                Renewable Energy Production Incentive programs, and 
                Renewable Program Support, the program should encourage 
                the commercial application of renewable energy 
                technologies by developed and developing countries, 
                State and local governmental entities and nonprofit 
                electric cooperatives, and by the competitive domestic 
                market.
            (3) Nuclear energy.--
                    (A) For university nuclear science and engineering, 
                the program should carry out the provisions of subtitle 
                A of title III of this division.
                    (B) For fuel cycle research, development, and 
                demonstration, the program should carry out the 
                provisions of subtitle B of title III of this division.
                    (C) For the Nuclear Energy Research Initiative, the 
                program should accomplish the objectives of section 
                2341(b) of this Act.
                    (D) For the Nuclear Energy Plant Optimization 
                Program, the program should accomplish the objectives 
                of section 2342(b) of this Act.
                    (E) For Nuclear Energy Technologies, the program 
                should carry out the provisions of section 2343 of this 
                Act.
                    (F) For Advanced Radioisotope Power Systems, the 
                program should ensure that the United States has 
                adequate capability to power future satellite and space 
                missions.
            (4) Fossil energy.--
                    (A) For core fossil energy research and 
                development, the program should achieve the goals 
                outlined by the Department's Vision 21 Program. This 
                research should address fuel-flexible gasification and 
                turbines, fuel cells, advanced-combustion systems, 
                advanced fuels and chemicals, advanced modeling and 
                systems analysis, materials and heat exchangers, 
                environmental control technologies, gas-stream 
                purification, gas-separation technology, and 
                sequestration research and development focused on cost-
                effective novel concepts for capturing, reusing or 
                storing, or otherwise mitigating carbon and other 
                greenhouse gas emissions.
                    (B) For offshore oil and natural gas resources, the 
                program should investigate and develop technologies 
                to--
                            (i) extract methane hydrates in coastal 
                        waters of the United States, in accordance with 
                        the provisions of the Methane Hydrate Research

                        in the ultra-deepwater of the Central and 
                        Western Gulf of Mexico. Research and 
                        development on ultra-deepwater resource 
                        recovery shall focus on improving the safety 
                        and efficiency of such recovery and of sub-sea 
                        production technology used for such recovery, 
                        while lowering costs.
                    (C) For transportation fuels, the program should 
                support a comprehensive transportation fuels strategy 
                to increase the price elasticity of oil supply and 
                demand by focusing research on reducing the cost of 
                producing transportation fuels from natural gas and 
                indirect liquefaction of coal.
            (5) Science.--The Secretary, through the Office of Science, 
        should--

funding of the various programs authorized by titles I through IV of 
this division should remain in the same proportion to each other as 
provided in this division, regardless of the total amount of funding 
made available for those programs.
    (b) Report to Congress.--If for fiscal year 2002, 2003, or 2004 the 
amounts appropriated in general appropriations Acts for the programs 
authorized in titles I through IV of this division are not in the same 
proportion to one another as are the authorizations for such programs 
in this division, the Secretary and the Administrator shall, within 60 
days after the date of the enactment of the last general appropriations 
Act appropriating amounts for such programs, transmit to the 
appropriate congressional committees a report describing the programs, 
projects, and activities that would have been funded if the proportions 
provided for in this division had been maintained in the 
appropriations. The amount appropriated for the program receiving the 
highest percentage of its authorized funding for a fiscal year shall be 
used as the baseline for calculating the proportional deficiencies of 
appropriations for other programs in that fiscal year.

          Subtitle B--Distributed Power Hybrid Energy Systems

SEC. 2121. FINDINGS.

    The Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Our ability to take advantage of our renewable, 
        indigenous resources in a cost-effective manner can be greatly 
        advanced through systems that compensate for the intermittent 
        nature of these resources through distributed power hybrid 
        systems.
            (2) Distributed power hybrid systems can--
                    (A) shelter consumers from temporary energy price 
                volatility created by supply and demand mismatches;
                    (B) increase the reliability of energy supply; and
                    (C) address significant local differences in power 
                and economic development needs and resource 
                availability that exist throughout the United States.
            (3) Realizing these benefits will require a concerted and 
        integrated effort to remove market barriers to adopting 
        distributed power hybrid systems by--
                    (A) developing the technological foundation that 
                enables designing, testing, certifying, and operating 
                distributed power hybrid systems; and
                    (B) providing the policy framework that reduces 
                such barriers.
            (4) While many of the individual distributed power hybrid 
        systems components are either available or under development in 
        existing private and public sector programs, the capabilities 
        to integrate these components into workable distributed power 
        hybrid systems that maximize benefits to consumers in a safe 
        manner often are not coherently being addressed.

                       TITLE III--NUCLEAR ENERGY

         Subtitle A--University Nuclear Science and Engineering

SEC. 2301. SHORT TITLE.

    This subtitle may be cited as ``Department of Energy University 
Nuclear Science and Engineering Act''.

SEC. 2302. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds the following:
            (1) United States university nuclear science and 
        engineering programs are in a state of serious decline, with 
        nuclear engineering enrollment at a 35-year low. Since 1980, 
        the number of nuclear engineering university programs has 
        declined nearly 40 percent, and over two-thirds of the faculty 
        in these programs are 45 years of age or older. Also, since 
        1980, the number of university research and training reactors 
        in the United States has declined by over 50 percent. Most of 
        these reactors were built in the late 1950s and 1960s with 30-
        year to 40-year operating licenses, and many will require 
        relicensing in the next several years.
            (2) A decline in a competent nuclear workforce, and the 
        lack of adequately trained nuclear scientists and engineers, 
        will affect the ability of the United States to solve future 
        nuclear waste storage issues, operate existing and design 
        future fission reactors in the United States, respond to future 
        nuclear events worldwide, help stem the proliferation of 
        nuclear weapons, and design and operate naval nuclear reactors.
            (3) The Department of Energy's Office of Nuclear Energy, 
        Science and Technology, a principal Federal agency for civilian 
        research in nuclear science and engineering, is well suited to 
        help maintain tomorrow's human resource and training investment 
        in the nuclear sciences and engineering.

                   Subtitle A--Fusion Energy Sciences

SEC. 2501. SHORT TITLE.

    This subtitle may be cited as the ``Fusion Energy Sciences Act of 
2001''.

SEC. 2502. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds that--
            (1) economic prosperity is closely linked to an affordable 
        and ample energy supply;
            (2) environmental quality is closely linked to energy 
        production and use;
            (3) population, worldwide economic development, energy 
        consumption, and stress on the environment are all expected to 
        increase substantially in the coming decades;
            (4) the few energy options with the potential to meet 
        economic and environmental needs for the long-term future 
        should be pursued as part of a balanced national energy plan;
            (5) fusion energy is an attractive long-term energy source 
        because of the virtually inexhaustible supply of fuel, and the 
        promise of minimal adverse environmental impact and inherent 
        safety;
            (6) the National Research Council, the President's 
        Committee of Advisers on Science and Technology, and the 
        Secretary of Energy Advisory Board have each recently reviewed 
        the Fusion Energy Sciences Program and each strongly supports 
        the fundamental science and creative innovation of the program, 
        and has confirmed that progress toward the goal of producing 
        practical fusion energy has been excellent, although much 
        scientific and engineering work remains to be done;
            (7) each of these reviews stressed the need for a magnetic 
        fusion burning plasma experiment to address key scientific 
        issues and as a necessary step in the development of fusion 
        energy;
            (8) the National Research Council has also called for a 
        broadening of the Fusion Energy Sciences Program research base 
        as a means to more fully integrate the fusion science community 
        into the broader scientific community; and
            (9) the Fusion Energy Sciences Program budget is inadequate 
        to support the necessary science and innovation for the present 
        generation of experiments, and cannot accommodate the cost of a 
        burning plasma experiment constructed by the United States, or 
        even the cost of key participation by the United States in an 
        international effort.

SEC. 2503. PLAN FOR FUSION EXPERIMENT.

    (a) Plan for United States Fusion Experiment.--The Secretary, on 
the basis of full consultation with the Fusion Energy Sciences Advisory 
Committee and the Secretary of Energy Advisory Board, as appropriate, 
shall develop a plan for United States construction of a magnetic 
fusion burning plasma experiment for the purpose of accelerating 
scientific understanding of fusion plasmas. The Secretary shall request 
a review of the plan by the National Academy of Sciences, and shall 
transmit the plan and the review to the Congress by July 1, 2004.
    (b) Requirements of Plan.--The plan described in subsection (a) 
shall--
            (1) address key burning plasma physics issues; and
            (2) include specific information on the scientific 
        capabilities of the proposed experiment, the relevance of these 
        capabilities to the goal of practical fusion energy, and the 
        overall design of the experiment including its estimated cost 
        and potential construction sites.
    (c) United States Participation in an International Experiment.--In 
addition to the plan described in subsection (a), the Secretary, on the 
basis of full consultation with the Fusion Energy Sciences Advisory 
Committee and the Secretary of Energy Advisory Board, as appropriate, 
may also develop a plan for United States participation in an 
international burning plasma experiment for the same purpose, whose 
construction is found by the Secretary to be highly likely and where 
United States participation is cost effective relative to the cost and 
scientific benefits of a domestic experiment described in subsection 
(a). If the Secretary elects to develop a plan under this subsection, 
he shall include the information described in subsection (b), and an 
estimate of the cost of United States participation in such an 
international experiment. The Secretary shall request a review by the 
National Academies of Sciences and Engineering of a plan developed 
under this subsection, and shall transmit the plan and the review to 
the Congress not later than July 1, 2004.
    (d) Authorization of Research and Development.--The Secretary, 
through the Fusion Energy Sciences Program, may conduct any research 
and development necessary to fully develop the plans described in this 
section.

SEC. 2504. PLAN FOR FUSION ENERGY SCIENCES PROGRAM.

    Not later than 6 months after the date of the enactment of this 
Act, the Secretary, in full consultation with FESAC, shall develop and 
transmit to the Congress a plan for the purpose of ensuring a strong 
scientific base for the Fusion Energy Sciences Program and to enable 
the experiments described in section 2503. Such plan shall include as 
its objectives--
            (1) to ensure that existing fusion research facilities and 
        equipment are more fully utilized with appropriate measurements 
        and control tools;
            (2) to ensure a strengthened fusion science theory and 
        computational base;
            (3) to ensure that the selection of and funding for new 
        magnetic and inertial fusion research facilities is based on 
        scientific innovation and cost effectiveness;
            (4) to improve the communication of scientific results and 
        methods between the fusion science community and the wider 
        scientific community;
            (5) to ensure that adequate support is provided to optimize 
        the design of the magnetic fusion burning plasma experiments 
        referred to in section 2503;
            (6) to ensure that inertial confinement fusion facilities 
        are utilized to the extent practicable for the purpose of 
        inertial fusion energy research and development;
            (7) to develop a roadmap for a fusion-based energy source 
        that shows the important scientific questions, the evolution of 
        confinement configurations, the relation between these two 
        features, and their relation to the fusion energy goal;
            (8) to establish several new centers of excellence, 
        selected through a competitive peer-review process and devoted 
        to exploring the frontiers of fusion science;
            (9) to ensure that the National Science Foundation, and 
        other agencies, as appropriate, play a role in extending the 
        reach of fusion science and in sponsoring general plasma 
        science; and
            (10) to ensure that there be continuing broad assessments 
        of the outlook for fusion energy and periodic external reviews 
        of fusion energy sciences.

SEC. 2505. AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS.

    There are authorized to be appropriated to the Secretary for the

            ``(1) In general.--The amount which a taxpayer may pay into

        nuclear decommissioning costs and a reasonable after-tax rate 
        of return on the assets of the Fund until such assets are 
        anticipated to be expended.''.

            (2) New ruling amount to take into account total costs.--
        Subparagraph (A) of section 468A(d)(2) is amended to read as 
        follows:

                               DIVISION E

SEC. 5000. SHORT TITLE.

    This division may be cited as the ``Clean Coal Power Initiative Act 
of 2001''.

SEC. 5001. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that--
            (1) reliable, affordable, increasingly clean electricity 
        will continue to power the growing United States economy;
            (2) an increasing use of electrotechnologies, the desire 
        for continuous environmental improvement, a more competitive 
        electricity market, and concerns about rising energy prices add 
        importance to the need for reliable, affordable, increasingly 
        clean electricity;
            (3) coal, which, as of the date of the enactment of this 
        Act, accounts for more than \1/2\ of all electricity generated 
        in the United States, is the most abundant fossil energy 
        resource of the United States;
            (4) coal comprises more than 85 percent of all fossil 
        resources in the United States and exists in quantities 
        sufficient to supply the United States for 250 years at current 
        usage rates;
            (5) investments in electricity generating facility 
        emissions control technology over the past 30 years have 
        reduced the aggregate emissions of pollutants from coal-based 
        generating facilities by 21 percent, even as coal use for 
        electricity generation has nearly tripled;
            (6) continuous improvement in efficiency and environmental 
        performance from electricity generating facilities would allow 
        continued use of coal and preserve less abundant energy 
        resources for other energy uses;
            (7) new ways to convert coal into electricity can 
        effectively eliminate health-threatening emissions and improve 
        efficiency by as much as 50 percent, but initial deployment of 
        new coal generation methods and equipment entails significant 
        risk that generators may be unable to accept in a newly 
        competitive electricity market; and
            (8) continued environmental improvement in coal-based 
        generation and increasing the production and supply of power 
        generation facilities with less air emissions, with the 
        ultimate goal of near-zero emissions, is important and 
        desirable.

        amounts paid or deducted under subsections (b)(4) and (c), and 
        shall deposit such amounts to miscellaneous receipts.
            (2) Accounting for deductions.--If the Secretary of the 
        Interior allows the lessee to deduct transportation or 
        processing costs under subsection (c), the Secretary may not 
        reduce any payments to recipients of revenues derived from any 
        other Federal oil and gas lease as a consequence of that 
        deduction.
    (g) Consultation With States.--The Secretary of the Interior--
            (1) shall consult with a State before conducting a royalty 
        in kind program under this title within the State, and may

        Federal law; and
            (2) shall consult annually with any State from which 
        Federal oil or gas royalty is being taken in kind to ensure to 
        the maximum extent practicable that the royalty in kind program 
        provides revenues to the State greater than or equal to those 
        which would be realized under a comparable royalty in value 
        program.
    (h) Provisions for Small Refineries.--
            (1) Preference.--If the Secretary of the Interior 
        determines that sufficient supplies of crude oil are not 
        available in the open market to refineries not having their own

SEC. 6235. ENCOURAGEMENT OF STATE AND PROVINCIAL PROHIBITIONS ON OFF-
              SHORE DRILLING IN THE GREAT LAKES.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
            (1) The water resources of the Great Lakes Basin are 
        precious public natural resources, shared and held in trust by 
        the States of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, 
        Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, and the Canadian Province of 
        Ontario.
            (2) The environmental dangers associated with off-shore 
        drilling in the Great Lakes for oil and gas outweigh the 
        potential benefits of such drilling.
            (3) In accordance with the Submerged Lands Act (43 U.S.C. 
        1301 et seq.), each State that borders any of the Great Lakes 
        has authority over the area between that State's coastline and 
        the boundary of Canada or another State.
            (4) The States of Illinois, Michigan, New York, 
        Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin each have a statutory prohibition 
        of off-shore drilling in the Great Lakes for oil and gas.
            (5) The States of Indiana, Minnesota, and Ohio do not have 
        such a prohibition.
            (6) The Canadian Province of Ontario does not have such a 
        prohibition, and drilling for and production of gas occurs in 
        the Canadian portion of Lake Erie.
    (b) Encouragement of State and Provincial Prohibitions.--The 
Congress encourages--
            (1) the States of Illinois, Michigan, New York, 
        Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin to continue to prohibit off-shore 
        drilling in the Great Lakes for oil and gas;
            (2) the States of Indiana, Minnesota, and Ohio and the 
        Canadian Province of Ontario to enact a prohibition of such 
        drilling; and
            (3) the Canadian Province of Ontario to require the 
        cessation of any such drilling and any production resulting 
        from such drilling.

Secretary of Energy and the chief executive officer of each insular

                of the United States to carry out eligible projects to 
                protect electric power transmission and distribution 
                lines in such territories from damage caused by 
                hurricanes and typhoons.

                grants under subparagraph (A) only to governments of 
                territories of the United States that submit written 
                project plans to the Secretary for projects that meet 
                the following criteria:

                        hurricanes and typhoons.

                        more than the value of the reduction in direct 
                        damage and other negative impacts that the 
                        project is designed to prevent or mitigate. The

                under this paragraph shall not exceed 75 percent of the 
                total cost of that project. The non-Federal share of
