EISA (Energy Independence and Security Act)

The Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA), enacted in 2007, is a U.S. law aimed at reducing reliance on imported oil and promoting energy efficiency. It sets standards for fuel efficiency in vehicles, encourages the use of renewable energy sources like solar and wind, improves energy-saving appliance standards, and promotes clean fuel alternatives. The goal is to enhance national energy security, reduce environmental impact, and create a sustainable energy future by encouraging innovation, conservation, and the development of cleaner energy technologies across industries and households.
