 At the same time, the new energy bill also encourages the substantial increase in the use of fuel ethanol capacity to 2022 to reach 36 billion gallons. In addition, the new energy bill also requires increased energy efficiency and develop more stringent energy efficiency standards.

 And to amend the energy law than before, the new energy bill the oil companies to give up on the energy tax provisions, and the lifting of solar  energy, wind energy appointed trustee.  Laws before the energy requirements of the energy tax reform, abolition of the five major U.S. oil company to 13.5 billion U.S. dollars of preferential tax reduction, in turn used to promote the development of new energy sources and improve energy utilization, the bill was adopted by the House earlier this month.  However, when submitted to the Senate approval, the Democratic Party by one vote difference can not be passed.  Based on the oil companies, the Republican Party and the Bush administration's strong opposition, this provision was eventually removed, altered, the new energy bill has been approved by the Senate last week.

 It is learnt that the Democrats-led by the new energy bill, many of the oil tycoon on behalf of the interests of the Republican vote in support of the House of Representatives.  This shows that the high oil prices under pressure, based on future energy security of common concern, various interest groups on energy issues have reached a consensus.  U.S. officials said the bill is passed U.S. energy policy is a "turning point", but also the history of U.S. energy use "landmark event", indicates that the energy reforms opened the curtain.
