Senate Energy Plan Aims To Promote Sustainability
Senate Democrats unveiled a comprehensive energy proposal this week. "Energy Development for a Growing Economy" aims to promote energy independence by increasing the use of renewable fuels. The proposal would give the president authority to increase the renewable content of motor fuel to 25% by 2025.
