However, the enacted law does not include a Senate-proposed provision to set a 10% re- newable portfolio standard. P.L. 109-59 (H.R. 3) contains several provisions . . .

(For more details, see “FY2006 DOE Budget,” “Legislation,” and Table 2 below.) On November 18, the House passed (217-215) the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 (H.R. 4241/S. 1932). Section 1301 would terminate funding for certain renewable energy programs . . .
