Presentation: A Clean Energy Deployment Administration?
EBI at SAME (Society of American Military Engineers) Camp Pendleton Day
Date: Thursday, 23 June 2011
A partisan Congress will likely be debating agency budgets, loan guarantees, tax policies, and a "Clean Energy Deployment Administration" within a larger energy bill. DOE's proposed $29 billion budget has significant boosts for renewable energy but Congress will push back spending and regulations. Many states are trying many different tools, not waiting for Congress.
