The Energy Policy Act of 2005 (Pub. L.Tooltip Public Law (United States) 109–58 (text) (PDF)) is a federal law signed by President George W. Bush on August 8, 2005, at Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The act, described by proponents as an attempt to combat growing energy problems, changed US energy policy by providing tax incentives and loan guarantees for energy production of various types. The most consequential aspect of the law was to greatly increase ethanol production [2] to be blended with gasoline. The law also repealed the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, effective February 2006.[3]
