OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) - The state would award $25 million a year in grants and low-cost loans for research and development of new and renewable energy and biofuel sources - like solar and wind power - under a measure passed by the House Saturday. The four-year "energy freedom program" also will award money for projects dealing with the development of renewable energy and biofuel facilities. It passed on a 68-30 bipartisan vote after nearly two hours of debate where opponents argued that the state was moving too fast with taxpayer money. "People of courage move forward," said Rep. Bill Grant, D-Walla Walla, prime sponsor of the bill. "They don't listen to the naysayers."
