Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 – Background, Summary of Requirements & Impact
- By: Staff Editor
- Date: September 09, 2011
Background
Concerns over the nation’s energy consumption and the realization of finite supply made it imperative for the government to enact legislation ensuring the energy independence and security of the country. EISA also aimed at achieving the following goals:
- Increase production of clean, non-polluting, renewable fuels
- Protect consumers
- Increase the efficiency of products, buildings and vehicles
- Promote research on and deploy greenhouse gas capture and storage options
- Improve the energy performance of the Federal Government
Three of the most important provisions that were enacted included:
- Corporate Average Fuel Economy Standards (CAFE)
- Renewable Fuel Standard
- Appliance/lighting efficiency standards.
EISA was the second major energy policy to be implemented by the government after the Energy Policy Act of 2005.
