returned to the House, it was approved by a 314-100 vote on December 18. President Bush signed it into law the following day. Factors Assisting Bill Passage Important factors in the final bill’s passage in Congress were record high oil prices and concerns regarding global warming. A Washington Post reporter wrote, “The inexorable rise in oil and gasoline prices has concentrated the public mind on the cost of foreign oil and the price of the gas-guzzling American car fleet.”18 The public had also come to recognize and accept global warming as a serious threat, nearly 30 years after scientists first raised the alarm. Consequently, expectations grew for the House to pass an energy package that included measures to slow and reverse the nation’s production of greenhouse gases.19 In January 2007, energy legislation became a top priority for Congress after Democrats assumed control of the House and the Senate, as well as for private industry leaders. Automakers became increasingly supportive of fuel efficiency standards, which they had opposed for 32 years. Also, a strong coalition of renewable industry advocates began to lobby Congress. “What has happened in the last couple of years is that you have had a number of additional and very potent voices join the discussion. The upheaval in the Middle East has crystallized recognition that these issues are much bigger than just how many jobs in the upper Midwest are affected. Other industry leaders, outside of the auto industry, are starting to express concern that the volatility of oil and gasoline prices are exposing a fundamental weakness in our economic competitiveness,” said Jason Grumet, executive director of the bipartisan National Commission on Energy Policy.20 President Bush also changed his approach to the challenges of energy security and climate change. Although President Bush threatened to veto the original bill containing the tax package, he still “endorsed stringent new mileage rules, a sharp increase in production of renewable fuels and concerted international action on climate change.”21 Without the president’s approval, the final bill would have likely failed. Legacy Although EISA 2007 contained neither the proposed RPS and nor many of the tax provisions, it did include measures designed to increase energy efficiency and the availability of renewable energy.22 Key provisions of EISA 2007 as described by the Congressional Research Service are: • The corporate average fuel economy (CAFE) standard • The renewable fuels standard (RFS) 126PDF Image | Shaping Energy Technology Transition
