“I have discussed with Senator Bingaman a concern with his amendment No. 3016. In particular, I question whether we should structure the renewable portfolio standard to refer to the ``capacity'' of a renewable system or, as done in Senator Bingaman's amendment, to the ``energy generated.'' I think we would simplify compliance by staying with a ``capacity-based'' standard, but I realize that this is a complex issue. I strongly recommend that we return to this issue in conference and carefully evaluate the pros and cons of these two approaches.”
