15 U.S. Code § 2501. Congressional findings and policy
(a) The Congress finds and declares that—
(1)
the Nation’s dependence on foreign sources of petroleum must be reduced, as such dependence jeopardizes national security, inhibits foreign policy, and undermines economic well-being;
(2)
the Nation’s balance of payments is threatened by the need to import oil for the production of liquid fuel for gasoline-powered vehicles;
(3)
the single largest use of petroleum supplies is in the field of transportation, for gasoline- and diesel-powered motor vehicles;
(4)
the expeditious introduction of electric and hybrid vehicles into the Nation’s transportation fleet would substantially reduce such use and dependence;
