__** Environment and Energy ** "**Encouragment of Renewable Resources**"__

This bill is trying to accomplish a reduce in the use of non renewable resources by adding more windturbines in costal places and areas by lakes. Lakes and oceans create wind which will power the windturbines creating energy to reduce use of non renewable resources. By putting more windturbines in, the wind will create energy to be used in many different places. The bill is proposing to put many more turbines in the areas that produce most wind, by lakes and oceans.
 * Purpose**:

This bill will apply to any place in the United States that has a lake or ocean big enough to produce enough wind to power a turbine (12 mph. winds). The turbines will power energy for homes businesses, and any other place that could use the energy produced by the turbine.
 * Eligibility**:

First research will be done to figure out the placing of the wind turbines and where the best places would be. Also states will have to okay the placement plans. Next money will have to be raised by cutting spending on oil or other projects with wind turbines.After that they would get the machines and materials need to build and power the turbines and substations. Then we would need to hire workers to install all of the machinary.Get the workers to start to build and install them all. Then they must get electricity from wind energy which costs **$60 MWh** and getting the electricity from coal costs **$74-$88 MWh.** Through this program, the government will subsidize energy companies which take the initiative to switch over from fossil fuel powered plants to wind farms. Funding will be set according to the figures given in the Fiscal Impact section.
 * Terms and Benefits**:

__Wind turbine cost__: $10,000 (each) __Installation__: $15,000 (for one wind farm) __Substaion:__ $149,000,000 (per substaion) __Average salary for wind technician:__ $60,000 (Depending on the size of the wind farm, we won't know how many jobs are supplied.) Total: $149,085,000
 * Fiscal Impact**:

We are proposing this bill because renewable resourses need to be used more and more to reduce pollution and help the enviroment. We are proposing to reduce use of coal and use more wind energy. It will work by adding wind turbines to windy areas like lakes and oceans, so that energy will be produced that wont run out and pollution would be reduced. People should vote for our bill because it is in their advantage. There houses could be powered off of more wind energy which could cost less and also it would make the enviroment a better place to be for future generation. People should vote for this bill because it will help with a lot of problems in the enviroment.
