I am glad congress has finally developed a plan to address the energy crisis in our country.

It's about time we started dealing with the energy crisis. We need this bill passed as soon as possible.

Let's hope the Senate doesn't hold this up.

Jim

I . H. Smith
I'm glad this legislation went through. The energy crisis must be dealt with quickly and efficiently.
John
This looks like it was a great idea, to bad it was killed in the senate.
Jay
It's not dead yet. Everyone in support of this bill, including myself, needs to contact their senators and let them know that this bill needs to be passed. If the Republicans want to twiddle their thumbs instead of taking action, then we need make them suffer in the November elections, and I have long considered myself a Republican
Mike
I've voted Republican for 20 years, but the Republicans are wrong to hold up this bill because it is offset by closing a loophole allowing hedge fund managers not to have to report income. They claim they appose this bill because it is a tax on the middle class, but that is not the case. This loophole is for billionaires who get to defer taxable income. The bill provides tax breaks for the middle class.

The USG and US citizens can not afford to allow this opportunity to pass like we did in the 1973 OPEC Oil Crisis. Green energy is not the sole answer, but it will start to wean our economy from dependence on foreign oil and spurn green jobs in the US that cannot be outsourced. Technologies in green energy like geothermal are making it more affordable and cost effective.
Geothermal energy is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Geothermal power plants have average availabilities of 90% or higher, compared to about 75% for coal plants.
Check out MIT’s report on geothermal http://geothermal.inel.gov/publications/future_of_geothermal_energy.pdf
See what states in the US can benefit / are benefiting from geothermal.

It's a good bill with a lot of add ons that I'm not a fan of. I wish they would fix it where the add on provisions could not be included unless they directly related to the primary bill. How does a child tax credit relate to "green jobs"? It doesn't. We have to quit rewarding people for having children they can't afford at tax payers expense. That aside I would approve but if we do not resolve illegal immigration than these "green jobs" will simply become more jobs given to illegals since companies will claim Americans won't do them.

It is time to stop be held hostage by fat cats big oil and monopolistic utility companies. Add in the drain on the economy to foreign nations who hate what we stand for and want to Kill is and our way of life.
Add in the myopic vision by own non-existent energy policy and the government officials in the oil mongers Pocket such as Rice, Busch and many others you have a recipe for disaster.
A YES Vote for in the HR 6049 is of paramount importance to the American way of life. The Renewable Energy future is now. Passing this bill will pave the way for the American people to stop being held hostage.
If you do not write you representatives and urge everyone you know to do the same then you are a victim of the Stockholm syndrome currently in place by our own lack of leadership, monopolistic utilities and worst of all big oil pocketing recorded profits at the expense of the American public.

It will be very difficult to restrict the biodiesel credit to US consumed or produced biodiesel without it being a plain and direct infrigement of the prohibition of export subsidies under WTO rules. Europe has already opened a thorough investigation into the imports of subsidized US biodiesel which could very well lead to the adoption of a provisional tariff to compensate for the unfair advantage given to US producers. Competition should occur on a level playing field and distorsions are what cost the US taxpayers and ultimately what lead to higher prices crippling the customers' budget.
Farmers already benefit from record high food prices. They do not need additional subsidies.

After watching the movie "Who killed the Electric Car" I'm mad as a Hornet. The Govt, Big Oil, and the car makers have us in this mess we're in today and it's about time to reverse course and HR-6049 is a good place to start. My next car will be an electric and the tax credits in this bill will make the purchase affordable. I sick of hearing the same old talk about increase drilling, this will not help the planet, nor help us right now. Renewable energy is the way to go.

I am very happy Bill 6049 pasted but am shocked to learn my congress woman voted against the Bill. MS. Jean Schmidt D-Ohio. What I find shocking is she is on the Subcommittee on Conservation, Credit, Energy, and Research. Holy COW How could this person be so wrong!!! I urge you to check to see if your Rep. Voted against such positive legislation.
