2002 Federal Farm Bill
On May 2, 2002, the Senate and House Farm Bill conferees finalized
the federal farm bill. REAP actively supported the energy title
provisions, which allocate a landmark $201 million to assist farmers
and ranchers in making energy efficiency improvements and developing
on-farm renewable energy resources.

2005 Domenici-Barton Energy Policy Act of 2005
In July 2005, Congress enacted a federal energy bill. While the
bill contains massive handouts to coal, nuclear, gas and oil, one
bright spot is the national Renewable Fuels Standard (RFS) that
requires gasoline refiners to blend renewable fuels in increasing
percentages annually. U.S. EPA is charged with analysis and implementation of the RFS. REAP is participating in this process.
