(3) increasing our domestic oil production and refining capacity;
(4) expanding the use of renewable and alternative energy sources, with a focus on nuclear energy;
(5) providing incentives for an increase in conservation and energy efficiency;

No summary available.
House Democratic Caucus Summary
The House Democratic Caucus does not provide summaries of bills.
So, yes, we display the House Republican Conference’s summaries when available even if we do not have a Democratic summary available. That’s because we feel it is better to give you as much information as possible, even if we cannot provide every viewpoint.
We’ll be looking for a source of summaries from the other side in the meanwhile.
