DEBATE - The House proceeded with 10 minutes of debate on the Markey motion to recommit with instructions. The instructions contained in the motion seek to require the bill to be reported back to the House with an amendment to add a section to the bill relating to Buy America provisions. The new section prohibits the Secretary of Energy from issuing loan guarantees for an energy project unless the applicant certifies to the Secretary that at least 75% of the materials and components used for construction, manufacturing, or operations of the project are to be produced in the United States. The motion would also make the underlying bill's prohibition against awarding new loan guarantees contingent on the extension of the Wind Energy Production Tax Credit.
