Senator Lugar Introduces Energy Legislation
Recent GPI "Friend of Glass" award recipient, Senator Richard Lugar (R-IN) has introduced broad-based energy legislation which includes an industrial “energy efficiency” revolving loan program. The proposed program would provide matching federal funds for eligible projects that improve or accelerate technologies or processes that substantially reduce energy intensity at manufacturing facilities, which would include glass manufacturing plants. Among the qualifying processes described in the bill is the improved "recycling of materials" in the manufacturing process. The legislation has been referred to the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources for consideration.
