ergy curriculum appropriate for the local edu-
cational, entrepreneurial, and environmental
conditions, including curriculum for commu-
nity colleges.
(2) Support of certification programs for in-
dividual solar energy system installers, in-
structors, and training programs.

**(a)** The Congress finds that—
(1) the fastest, most cost-effective, and most environmentally sound way to prevent future energy shortages in the United States, while reducing the Nation’s dependence on imported energy supplies, is to encourage and facilitate, through major programs, the implementation of energy conservation and renewable-resource energy measures with respect to dwelling units, nonresidential buildings, and industrial plants;
(2) current efforts to encourage and facilitate such measures are inadequate as a consequence of—
(A) a lack of adequate and available financing for such measures, particularly with respect to individual consumers and owners of small businesses;
(B) a shortage of reliable and impartial information and advisory services pertaining to practicable energy conservation measures and renewable-resource energy measures and the cost savings that are likely if they are implemented in such units, buildings, and plants; and
(C) the absence of organized programs which, if they existed, would enable consumers, especially individuals and owners of small businesses, to undertake such measures easily and with confidence in their economic value;
(3) major programs of financial incentives and assistance for energy conservation measures and renewable-resource energy measures in dwelling units, nonresidential buildings, and industrial plants would—
(A) significantly reduce the Nation’s demand for energy and the need for petroleum imports;
(B) cushion the adverse impact of the high price of energy supplies on consumers, particularly elderly and handicapped low-income persons who cannot afford to make the modifications necessary to reduce their residential energy use; and
(C) increase, directly and indirectly, job opportunities and

PART A—WEATHERIZATION ASSISTANCE FOR
LOW-INCOME PERSONS
§ 6861. Congressional findings and purpose
(a) The Congress finds that—
(1)
a
fast,
cost-effective,
and
environ-
mentally sound way to prevent future energy
shortages in the United States while reducing
the Nation’s dependence on imported energy
supplies,
is
to
encourage
and
facilitate,
through major programs, the implementation
of energy conservation and renewable-resource
energy measures with respect to dwelling
units;
(2) existing efforts to encourage and facili-
tate such measures are inadequate because—
(A) many dwellings owned or occupied by
low-income persons are energy inefficient;
(B) low-income persons can least afford to
make the modifications necessary to provide
for efficient energy equipment in such dwell-
ings and otherwise to improve the energy ef-
ficiency of such dwellings;
(3) weatherization of such dwellings would
lower shelter costs in dwellings owned or occu-
pied by low-income persons as well as save en-
ergy and reduce future energy capacity re-
quirements; and
(4) States, through Community Action Agen-
cies established under the Economic Oppor-
tunity Act of 1964 [42 U.S.C. 2701 et seq.] and
