The bill is supposed to fund alternate energy.

Requirement for refiners to use 7.5 billion gallons of ethanol annually by 2012, double current production.

Tax breaks of $14.5 billion over 10 years for energy companies, renewable energy sources and promotion of efficiency.

A $1.8 billion program to promote clean coal research and development.

Loan guarantees and other subsidies for clean energy technologies and new nuclear reactors.

I haven't read much of the bill, but I think I approve of it.
