摘要

Budget cuts to the Department of Energy's renewable and efficiency programs could have a devastating impact, advocates said this week. The Trump administration won't release details of its fiscal 2018 budget until next week, but many stakeholders expect deep cuts to DOE's Office of Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy. Research that could get slashed includes that from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, which receives about 80 percent of its funding from EERE.
