consideration of the Senate amendments to H.R. 6, to reduce our 
Nation's dependency on foreign oil by investing in clean, 
renewable, and alternative energy resources, promoting new 
emerging energy technologies, developing greater efficiency, 
and creating a Strategic Energy Efficiency and Renewables 
Reserve to invest in alternative energy, and for other 
purposes.
