National energy bill boosts bioenergy, but...

Article Abstract:

The Energy Policy Act of 2005, which focuses on increasing supplies of traditional fuels such as oil, coal and natural gas is not expected to reduce energy prices but takes some steps toward diversifying the transportation sector away from its near-total reliance on petroleum by offering incentives for use of alternative fuels. Record high oil and natural gas prices plus growing concerns about US dependence on foreign energy created momentum for agreement on final bill.

The report, however, got quick rejections on both ends of the political spectrum.
