Congressman Zach Wamp (R-TN) voted in favor of the comprehensive energy package that passed the House of Representatives on Tuesday.

"This comprehensive energy bill is a huge investment that will fuel our economy and create thousands of new jobs in the manufacturing, agriculture and technology sectors."

"Reducing our dependence on foreign energy sources is an important part of protecting our country. Too many of our energy sources are in the hands of unstable nations, which is a serious threat to our national security as well as to our way of life."

"As the Chairman of the House Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Caucus, I appreciate the fact that the bill includes tax credits for a variety of renewable fuels and encourages the use of solar, wind, geothermal, biomass and other renewable energy sources."
