 * Purpose -** Our bill, SB5, is trying to make the way that we get energy cleaner. By making 30% of all electric companies in America's energy solar energy, we can make a cleaner Earth. It is more efficient because we will never run out of it, and there are no harmful wastes that come from it.

All organizations that produce energy in the United States All companies/organizations must make $1 million per year
 * Eligibility -** All electric companies in the United States

1. This bill will be in affect for four years. 2. We will give money to all the electric companies in the United States to start making renewable resources. 3. The renewable resource will be solar energy. 4. All the electric companies in the United States will need to make 30% of all their energy solar energy. 5. If the companies do not make 30% solar energy, they will get six months to start making it, or be shut down. 6. Donations will be used to pay for the equipment, along with taxes, and money cut from other energy bills dealing with the same problem. 7. The energy companies will need to pay for the labor and employees. 8. This bill will create jobs for Americans. 9. We will have a cleaner Earth after this bill passes, and we will never run out of solar energy. 10. We are settting an example for other countries to join in and go use renewable energy too. 11. This change will cost less than what we are paying for energy now. It willl take a few years because we have to pay for the equipment, but not the resource.
