SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
            (1) the dependence of the United States on foreign oil is 
        projected to remain dangerously high over the next few decades 
        unless serious action is taken;
            (2) over \1/3\ of the trade deficit of the United States 
        over the last year is because of imported petroleum products;
            (3) oil prices in the United States have risen more than 95 
        percent over the last 2 years and are projected to remain at, 
        or exceed, historically high levels for the foreseeable future;
            (4) Brazil has drastically decreased oil imports by 
        aggressively promoting biofuels and flexible fuel vehicles;
            (5) using renewable energy, promoting clean coal 
        technology, and offering incentives for energy efficiency will 
        improve air quality and reduce the demand for imported natural 
        gas;
            (6) transmission capacity constraints prevent some regions 
        of the United States from fully developing domestic energy 
        resources;
            (7) the United States has abundant domestic resources to 
        create alternative fuels that will dramatically lessen 
        dependence on foreign oil;
            (8) increasing funding for research, development, and 
        commercialization of new energy technologies will enable the 
        United States to significantly reduce the reliance of the 
        United States on foreign energy suppliers;
            (9) a bold energy plan to make the United States more 
        energy-independent should be implemented immediately; and
            (10) a bold and comprehensive energy plan will help keep 
        energy prices affordable for consumers in the United States.
    (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this Act are--
            (1) to reduce the dependence of the United States on 
        foreign oil;
            (2) to expand the production and use of alternative fuels 
        and alternative fuel vehicles;
            (3) to promote the development of renewable energy sources 
        for electricity production;
            (4) to encourage responsible development of domestic fossil 
        fuel resources; and
            (5) to reward consumers and businesses for conservation and 
        energy efficiency.

                the United States;
                    (B) recommendations for changes in the credits 
                under such sections 30 and 30B to further increase the 
                purchases of alternative fuel and lean burn technology 
                vehicles that lessen the United States dependence on 
                imported foreign oil; and
                    (C) recommendations for consolidating such rebates 
                and credits into one unified incentive structure for

SEC. 401. MODIFICATIONS TO ENHANCED OIL RECOVERY CREDIT.

    (a) Enhanced Credit for Carbon Dioxide Injections.--Section 43 of 
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 is amended by adding at the end the 
following new subsection:
    ``(f) Enhanced Credit for Projects Using Qualified Carbon 
Dioxide.--
            ``(1) In general.--In the case of any qualified enhanced

                  TITLE V--ELECTRICITY AND RENEWABLES

SEC. 501. DOE NATIONAL AND NORTH AMERICAN ELECTRICITY GRID STUDIES.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
            (1) the interstate transmission system of North America 
        cannot reliably handle the existing and expected dramatic 
        increase in future electric transactions;
            (2) significant new transmission capacity is urgently 
        needed to maintain reliability and meet the needs of a growing 
        demand for electricity;
            (3) transmission shortages and constraints are contributing 
        to wholesale and retail electric market failures that are 
        harming electric consumers in, and the economy of, the United 
        States;
            (4) existing transmission capacity limits the development 
        of renewable and other energy sources by constraining delivery 
        of those resources into the national power market;
            (5) excessive congestion unnecessarily raises costs for all 
        consumers; and
            (6) an adequate transmission system is critical to national 
        security.
    (b) Studies.--
            (1) In general.--Not later than 1 year after the date of 
        enactment of this Act, the Secretary, in consultation with the 
        Rural Utilities Service, the Federal Power Marketing 
        Administrations, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, and 
        other appropriate regional entities, shall carry out--
                    (A) a study, to be known as the ``National 
                Transmission Grid Study'', to determine the feasibility 
                of constructing a national transmission grid with 
                nationwide functionality and benefits similar to those 
                provided by construction of the Interstate Highway 
                System; and
                    (B) a study, to be known as the ``North American 
                Transmission Grid Study'', to determine the feasibility 
                of constructing an integrated North American 
                transmission grid with international functionality and 
                benefits similar to those provided by construction of 
                the Interstate Highway System.
            (2) Study.--In carrying out the studies, the Secretary 
        shall take into consideration--
                    (A) economic viability, including the cost-
                effectiveness of developing a national transmission 
                grid or North American transmission grid, as 
                appropriate;
                    (B) economic growth in the United States, including 
                the extent to which that economic growth is constrained 
                by the lack of adequate or reasonably-priced 
                electricity;
                    (C) limited transmission infrastructure, resulting 
                in the inability or limited ability to transmit 
                available power supply resources;
                    (D) diversification of power supply;
                    (E) requirements and needs relating to the national 
                defense and homeland security of the United States;
                    (F) promotion of national energy security;
                    (G) transmission losses; and
                    (H) reliability.
    (c) Report to Congress.--Not later than 90 days after the date of 
completion of the studies required by subsection (c)(1), the Secretary 
shall submit to Congress a report describing the viability of 
constructing--
            (1) a national transmission grid in accordance with 
        nationwide functionality and benefits similar to those provided 
        by construction of the Interstate System; and
            (2) an integrated North American transmission grid with 
        international functionality and benefits similar to those 
        provided by construction of the Interstate System.
    (d) Authorization of Appropriations.--There are authorized to be 
appropriated such sums as are necessary to carry out this section.

              SUBJECT TO PRIVATE BUSINESS USE TEST.

                facilities.--For purposes of the 1st sentence of 
                subparagraph (A), the operation or use of an electric 
                transmission facility by any person which is not a 
                governmental unit shall not be considered a private 
                business use.''.
    (b) Effective Date.--The amendment made by this section shall apply 
to bonds issued after the date of the enactment of this Act.

SEC. 503. EXTENSION OF CREDIT FOR PRODUCING ELECTRICITY FROM CERTAIN 
              RENEWABLE RESOURCES.

Internal Revenue Code of 1986 are each amended by striking ``January 1, 
2008'' each place it appears and inserting ``January 1, 2013''.
    (b) Effective Date.--The amendments made by this section shall take 
effect on the date of the enactment of this Act.

        estimates will result in the present value of the obligation to 
        repay the principal on the bond being equal to 50 percent of 
        the face amount of such bond. Such present value shall be 
        determined using as a discount rate the average annual interest 
        rate of tax of tax-exempt obligations having a term of 10 years 
        or more which are issued during the month. If the term as so
