Imposes a limit on such tax credit based upon investment in renewable resource facilities placed in service after 2008 in lieu of the current phaseout provisions for such credit.

(Sec. 102) Includes marine and hydrokinetic renewable energy as a renewable resource for purposes of the tax credit for producing electricity from renewable resources.

(Sec. 215) Allows a five-year recovery period for the depreciation of qualified energy management devices. Defines "qualified energy management device" as a device that measures and records electricity usage data on a time-differentiated basis in at least 24 separate time segments per day and allows for the exchange of electricity-usage information and data.
Title III: Revenue Provisions - Subtitle A: Denial of Oil and Gas Tax Benefits -
(Sec. 301) Denies a tax deduction for income attributable to the domestic production of oil, natural gas, or any primary products thereof.

(Sec. 302) Increases from five to seven years the amortization period for geological and geophysical expenditures for certain major integrated oil companies (i.e., companies with an average daily worldwide production of crude oil of at least 500,000 barrels, gross receipts in excess of $1 billion, and an ownership interest in a crude oil refiner of 15% or more).

(Sec. 303) Revises the standard for calculating foreign oil and gas extraction income for purposes of the foreign tax credit to require a fair market valuation.
Subtitle B: Clarification of Eligibility for Certain Fuel Credits -

Title IV: Other Provisions - Subtitle A: Studies -
(Sec. 401) Directs the Secretary of the Treasury to enter into an agreement with the National Academy of Sciences for a comprehensive review of federal tax provisions that have the largest effects on carbon and other greenhouse gas emissions and to estimate the magnitude of those effects. Requires the Academy to report to Congress on such study not later than two years after the enactment of this Act. Authorizes appropriations for FY2008-FY2009.
