Paul Ryan in 2004…Clean and Renewable Sources of Energy.

Despite repeated efforts over the past year, Congress has been unable to enact a comprehensive energy bill due to unresolved conflicts on many of its major provisions. I am disappointed at the lack of progress on this measure because it contains multiple provisions that would incentivize the development and use of new sources of energy that are both clean and renewable. I believe that it is essential that we develop renewable energy sources because it would limit our dependence on foreign sources of energy, such as crude oil and natural gas, while also providing significant environmental benefits.
