     SEC. 2. SENSE OF CONGRESS.

       It is the sense of Congress that Congress should enact, and 
     the President should sign, legislation to enhance the 
     security of the United States by reducing the dependence of 
     the United States on foreign and unsustainable energy sources 
     and the risks of global warming by--
       (1) requiring reductions in emissions of greenhouse gases;
       (2) diversifying and expanding the use of secure, 
     efficient, and environmentally-friendly energy supplies and 
     technologies;
       (3) reducing the burdens on consumers of rising energy 
     prices;
       (4) eliminating tax giveaways to large energy companies; 
     and
       (5) preventing energy price gouging, profiteering, and 
     market manipulation.
