Energy Independence and Security Act

Energy Independence and Security Act is a law that was created to help make sure we have enough energy for everyone to use and it will be available for a long time in the future. This law also helps to keep our country safe by depending less on other countries for our energy needs.

Think of it as making sure we have enough toys to play with and we don't have to borrow toys from our friends or get toy parts from other countries, which could be too far away or too expensive.

This law helps to make sure we have many different sources of energy, like wind, solar, and water power, so that we don't have to rely too much on oil or gas. This way, if one source of energy goes away, we still have others to use. It's like having many options of toys to play with, so if one toy breaks or gets lost, we can still have fun with our other toys.

Lastly, the Energy Independence and Security Act helps to make energy use cleaner by making appliances use less energy and pollute less. This is like cleaning up our room after we play with our toys, so everything looks nice and new again.

Overall, this law helps us to have enough energy to use, not depend too much on other countries, have many energy options to choose from, and use energy in a cleaner way.
