Abstract
The Bush Administration's five-year struggle for an energy bill reached fruition in early August when the president signed into law the Energy Policy Act of 2005, the first national energy plan in more than a decade. The struggle, often marked by contention and partisan bickering, reached a conclusion coincidentally as world oil prices were soaring above $60 per barrel. In some respects the energy bill represented a two-sided coin for the American renewables community: on one side there were substantial victories, but on the other side there were significant missed opportunities. U.S. correspondent Don C. Smith takes a closer look at the bill and how the renewables industry fared.
