Of a perfecting nature.

SA 1864. Mrs. HUTCHISON submitted an amendment intended to be
proposed by her to the bill H.R. 3183, making appropriations for energy
and water development and related agencies for the fiscal year ending
September 30, 2010, and for other purposes; which was ordered to lie on
the table; as follows:

At the appropriate place, insert the following:
The National Renewable Energy Laboratory has determined the
need to evolve a more comprehensive physical understanding of
the casual relationships between atmospheric inflow phenomena
and wind farm interaction and has identified the need to
better understand the relationship as the key remaining
science issue before new technology and microclimatology
could be addressed.
Of the $85,000,000 provided for wind energy under Energy
Efficiency and Renewable Energy account, $8 million shall be
directed to the National Wind Resource Center for turbine and
equipment purchase specifically for the purpose of operations
research, turbine to turbine wake interaction, and the need
to provide a demonstration platform for new turbine
technology accelerating acceptance and adoption by the
commercial industry.
