National Energy
Policy
The National
Energy Policy calls for greater energy efficiency, a modernized
energy infrastructure, and an increase in energy supplies. The new
National Energy Policy, issued by the Bush Administration, is a
long-term, comprehensive strategy that will advance new, environmentally
friendly technologies to increase energy supplies and encourage
cleaner, more efficient energy use.
“America
must have an energy policy that plans for the future, but meets
the needs of today. I believe we can develop our natural resources
and protect our environment.”
— President George W. Bush
The National
Energy Policy asks industries for further improvements in the
productive and efficient use of energy. The National Energy Policy
recommends federal agencies take actions to conserve energy use
in their facilities, and increase funding and individual budgets
for renewable energy and energy efficiency research and development
programs. The National Energy Policy asks for an increase in U.S.
energy supplies emphasizing that research in clean coal technologies
may increase the use of coal as a source for new power plants.
