Findings

The Congress finds that— (1)there is a need for a robust renewable energy and energy efficiency research and development program that provides a basis for the development, demonstration, and deployment of new energy technologies in partnership with industry; (2)Federal budget authority for renewable energy and energy efficiency research and development has declined significantly since 1980; and (3)the President’s budget request for fiscal year 2006 continues to shortchange the core programs, imperiling promising technologies that have the potential to reduce energy consumption and United States dependence on foreign oil, and increase energy efficiency.

National research and development policy

It shall be the policy of the United States that its research, development, demonstration, and commercial applications programs be designed to enable 20 percent of the energy generated in the United States from stationary sources to be generated from nonhydropower renewable energy sources by the year 2020.

Definitions

For purposes of this Act— (1)the term biomass means any organic matter that is available on a renewable or recurring basis, including agricultural crops and trees, wood and wood wastes and residues, plants (including aquatic plants), grasses, residues, fibers, animal wastes, and municipal wastes; and (2)the term renewable energy source means— (A)wind; (B)biomass; (C)a geothermal source; (D)a solar source; (E)a photovoltaic source; or (F)additional hydroelectric generation capacity achieved from increased efficiency at an existing hydroelectric dam.
