The Energy bill passed Congress which includes the first increase in vehicle fuel-economy standards in 32 years.

It also includes the ability to buy more energy-efficient appliances. And you will see labels on TVs and computers that tell you how much energy they consume. You will see stickers on new cars that specify not only how many miles they get per gallon but how much greenhouse gas emissions they produce. And when you pull up to the pump, you will fill your car with a mixture of gasoline and made-in-the-USA biofuel.

It is projected that the bill will reduce energy use by 7% and carbon dioxide emissions by 9% in 2030.
