DOE Budget Request Seeks More Funding For Clean Energy, Less Money for Fossil Fuels

摘要

The Department of Energy's $29.5 billion fiscal year 2012 budget request, submitted to Congress Feb. 14, would increase funding for clean energy programs, including a loan guarantee program for nuclear energy, while cutting funding for fossil fuel programs. The budget proposal reflects the Obama administration's goal of doubling the amount of energy generated from clean sources by 2035.
