"This will lead to greater amounts of renewable energy than if the Bingaman proposal preempted state opportunities to promote renewable energy."

"If enacted, the majority staff draft circulated by the Committee would be a landmark step in the development of the United States' renewable energy economy."

"FFP applauds the Committee for advancing the discussion of a national RES, which FFP wholeheartedly supports."
