A quick definition of Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007:

The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 is a law that aims to reduce America's dependence on oil and increase energy efficiency. It includes several measures such as making cars more fuel-efficient, increasing the use of renewable fuels, and setting new standards for energy-efficient appliances. The law also provides funding for innovative projects that promote energy efficiency. Its goal is to make America more self-sufficient when it comes to energy and to protect the environment.

A more thorough explanation:

The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 is a law that aims to reduce the United States' dependence on oil and increase energy efficiency. It contains several provisions that promote the use of renewable energy sources and encourage innovation in energy efficiency.

  • Increasing the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standard for total fleets to 35 miles per gallon by 2020.
  • Expanding the Renewable Fuel Standard Program's standard to 36 billion gallons of renewable fuel by 2022.
  • Establishing new energy efficiency standards for consumer and commercial electronics such as lighting, appliances, and air conditioning products.
  • Creating programs to fund and encourage innovative ventures to increase energy efficiency.

For example, the CAFE standard requires automakers to produce vehicles that meet certain fuel efficiency requirements. By increasing the standard to 35 miles per gallon, the law encourages automakers to produce more fuel-efficient vehicles, which reduces the amount of oil needed to power them.

The Renewable Fuel Standard Program requires a certain amount of renewable fuel to be blended into gasoline and diesel each year. By expanding the standard to 36 billion gallons, the law promotes the use of renewable energy sources like ethanol and biodiesel, which reduces the amount of oil needed to produce gasoline and diesel.

The energy efficiency standards for consumer and commercial electronics help reduce energy consumption and save consumers money on their energy bills. For example, the law requires light bulbs to be more energy-efficient, which reduces the amount of electricity needed to light a room.

Overall, the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 aims to reduce the United States' dependence on oil and increase energy efficiency through various provisions and programs.

Bro didnt realize that Application review is on a rolling basis. Decisions are made on individual applications as quickly as possible; however, the time required to a make a decision will vary among applications. A rolling admission process allows for extending the review process as appropriate ensuring that each application receives full and individualized attention in the context of careful comparison to other complete applications.

She roll on my admissions until I decide

Raw eggs roll down my throat. I actually like eating raw eggs, however, the feeling of a glob of yolk/albumen gives me the feeling of chocking. Idk I personally think pushing yourself in all regards is a net positive, so I dig it. How many raw eggs have you ever eaten/drank at once? My record is 10
I sent an email to NYU with an updated resume, every other school I sent it to responded within a day and NYU still hasn't
I got a big internship so I wanted to let all schools know
And NYU and Stanford just no response
