Facts about Tennessee

1. Number one state that produces coal and electric power 2. Nicknamed “The Volunteer State” 3. Its state animal is a raccoon 4. Motto is “Agriculture and Commerce” 5. Known as “World’s energy capital”

__Agriculture __

Agriculture is a very important issue to Tennesseans because it allows the development of industrialization. Also, the more farming farmers do the more fresh our food will be. Agriculture should be used more because many people can benefit from it. Agriculture is also an easier way of living. You do not need to do as much human labor. __ Environment and Energy __ I believe that the United States of America uses too much of coal, oil, and natural gas also known as fossil fuels. Instead, I think we should use more electric energy, chemical energy, and hydroelectricity. Electricity powers trains, trams, and cars. Chemical energy is extremely important because in our world, today, batteries power so many things. Also, hydroelectricity is important because it can convert to electric and chemical energy. I think we should use more of renewable sources so we can use them forever, and it does not harm the Earth. __ Health and Safety __  Right now, health care is a huge issue in the United States. Some people have health care and some don’t. I personally believe that people, in this case, should not be treated equally. The more unhealthy you are, the more health care should cost you. It is enormously unfair to people that are living a healthy lifestyle to be charged more than people that have an unhealthy lifestyle.

__Information on my bill__

My bill is about the energy sources we use today. Basically, it is about that as citizens, we should use more renewable resources. As Americans, we use many renewable sources; however, we use too many fossil fuels. I think that using fossil fuels harms the Earth. Earth is our home; we have to treat it like it is. We don’t have to cut down on fossil fuels completely, but we need to use more electrical and chemical sources. Also, I believe that renewable sources are also more efficient than non renewable sourcesMy bill proposes that every small business that uses renewable sources over fossil fuels (coal, oil, uranium); we will grant them a certain amount of money per year. We will give them 10% of their usual profits. To most businesses that extra 10% could come in handy. The main goal of this bill is for us Americans, to use more sources that are efficient and that we can use forever.
