House Subcommittee to Discuss Energy R&D Budget for 2009
The House Committee on Science and Technology’s Subcommittee on Energy and Environment will hold a hearing tomorrow to discuss President Bush’s Department of Energy research and development budget proposal for fiscal year 2009. (The AAAS has offered a preliminary analysis of the budget.) The DOE is a main player in federal funding for energy research; the appropriations it receives from Congress and the President are crucial for innovation in renewable energy technologies. The Center for American Progress has taken a closer look at the numbers and has put forward a set of recommendations for the DOE and for future federal spending on alternative and renewable energy research.
