Congress said federal agencies should use more energy-efficient technology when managing public lands. The Secretaries of Interior, Commerce, and Agriculture should use efficient buildings where practical. They should also use efficient vehicles, like hybrids, across parks, refuges, forests, and marine sanctuaries.

(a) Sense of the Congress. Congress expressed the view that federal agencies should make more use of energy-efficient technologies when managing natural resources. (b) Energy efficient buildings. As much as practical, the Secretary of the Interior, the Secretary of Commerce, and the Secretary of Agriculture should use energy-efficient technologies in the public and administrative buildings tied to managing the National Park System, National Wildlife Refuge System, National Forest System, National Marine Sanctuaries System, and other public lands and resources they oversee. (c) Energy efficient vehicles. As much as practical, the same three Secretaries should use energy-efficient vehicles — including ones with biodiesel or hybrid engines — when managing those same systems and lands.
