T&I Committee Passes Energy Security, Climate Change Legislation

The full House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure today completed action on a broad-ranging bill to help promote energy security and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The Transportation Energy Security and Climate Change Mitigation Act of 2007 (H.R. 2701) affects programs in nearly every area of the Committee's jurisdiction, especially surface transportation, aviation, public buildings, and water resources.

"These are very pragmatic, doable initiatives," said Rep. James L. Oberstar (Minn.), Chairman of the full Committee. "Each of these provisions is a single modest step, but add them together and they can make a significant difference in our daily lives."
