I rise in support of the Bono Amendment to H.R. 4. Today we have an opportunity to advance the use of renewable and alternative energy products. The Energy Sun program has significant environmental and energy security benefits. I support extending the Energy Sun label to renewable and alternative energy products including solar, wind, biomass, and distributed energy. Specifically, I believe new technologies, like that of the stirling heat engine, will go far to reduce pollution and our dependence on dangerously strained electric power grids. Now is the time to recognize and encourage the use of products and technologies that will improve our homes, our communities, and our environment.
