§15831 Public energy education program

Summary

Within 180 days after August 8, 2005, the Secretary must hold an organizational meeting to set up an ongoing, self-supporting national public energy education program. The Secretary must invite people and groups from all parts of energy production and delivery, including industrial firms, professional societies, schools, trade groups, and government agencies. The meeting’s job is to design a program that studies how different kinds of energy relate to each other, energy saving and efficiency, how energy use affects the economy, and how it affects the environment. The Secretary must give technical help and guidance to run the program. Money can be appropriated as needed to carry it out.
