Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA)

The Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) of 2007 is a U.S. law aimed at reducing dependence on imported oil and promoting renewable energy sources. It sets higher fuel efficiency standards for cars and trucks, encourages the development of alternative fuels, and improves energy efficiency in appliances and buildings. The goal is to decrease reliance on fossil fuels, cut greenhouse gas emissions, and enhance national energy security through cleaner, more sustainable energy practices.
