This is mandated speculation. Repeatedly Bill says "if it is possible." This is not a valid basis for a law that reaches into every pocket and threatens our economy and way of life.
Innovation needs to be market driven, not government driven. Now that E85, which was government mandated, has been shown to cause significant food shortages and to have a much higher energy cost than petroleum, we should have learned to question the wisdom of our legislators.
While we wait for new technology to be proposed, developed and dispersed, we need energy to live, travel, work, and manufacture goods. To get that, we must continue to drill, refine and utilize our existing petroleum. In addition , we will continue to need coal fired electricity and new atomic power plants.
