The Energy Independence and Security Act

The Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA), enacted in 2007, aims to enhance America's energy security and reduce reliance on foreign oil. It promotes the development of renewable energy sources, improves energy efficiency in buildings and vehicles, and mandates increased use of alternative fuels. The law also includes provisions for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and supporting advanced technology research. By encouraging energy independence and sustainable practices, EISA seeks to create a more resilient economy and environment while addressing climate change concerns. Ultimately, it strives to balance energy needs with environmental stewardship.
