The Energy Efficiency Improvement Act of 2015, introduced by Shaheen with Senator Rob Portman of Ohio , passed the Senate in March and the House earlier this month. Shaheen commented on on the legislation.
“Granite Staters want to see Washington working together for the good of New Hampshire and the country,” said Shaheen. “Today, the President signed a bipartisan energy efficiency bill into law that creates jobs, saves consumers money, and reduces pollution. It’s always tough to convince Washington to not play politics with a good idea. Much more work on energy efficiency needs to be done and getting this legislation over the finish line demonstrates that there’s broad support in Washington for job-creating efficiency legislation. I will continue to reach across the aisle to pass more common-sense energy efficiency bills because it’s good for our economy and it’s good for our environment.”
