Department of Energy Congressional Budget Request, FY 2010 Other Defense Activities; Departmental Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability Energy Transformation Acceleration Fund Nuclear Energy, Volume 3.

摘要

The Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) requests $2.319 billion for FY 2010 to help build a new energy economy by changing the national landscape of energy supply and demand and increasing the scale and pace of commercialization for new technologies. Through the research, development, and deployment (RD&D) of EERE's diverse, cutting-edge applied science portfolio, these funds will significantly increase support for critical scientific, policy, and economic advances. DOE's energy efficiency and renewable energy research, effectively partnered with public- and private-sector actions, can help the U.S. meet national and global energy, environmental, and economic challenges concurrently. This RD&D portfolio investment will deliver increased technological advances and accelerate the marketplace changes necessary to meet the needs of the public, stimulate private-sector investment in clean energy, and position the U.S. as a world leader in climate change technology. It will also sustain and build upon the initiatives and economic goals of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act) and will continue support of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA) and the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct).
