What is H.R. 4092?
(Updated December 2, 2014)
According to the House Committee Energy & Commerce, this bill would
establish a Department of Energy clearinghouse to disseminate information about available federal programs and financing mechanisms that may be used to support energy efficiency, distributed generation, and energy retrofitting projects for schools.
Argument in favor
Helps ensure that federal agencies are utilizing to the fullest extent possible all cost- effective measures for energy conservation. Promotes energy efficiency initiatives in our nation’s schools.
Argument opposed
More bark than bite: creates a clearinghouse for energy-efficiency information, but takes no further action. A good bill to talk to locals about in an election year.
Impact
The bill impacts energy efficiency for K-12 public and charter schools.
Cost of H.R. 4092
Washington Watch estimates that enacting the bill would cost one penny per person. The CBO estimates a cost of less than $500,000 annually.
