Jul 10th
Solar’s Long and Winding Road By Marc Gunther Published July 09, 2010
In 1969, the Nixon White House asked a young assistant professor of engineering at the University of Maryland whether solar energy made sense for America. Absolutely, he replied.
Four decades later, Fred Morse is still trying to persuade the government to put its muscle behind solar. Last week, he scored a big victory.
In his weekly radio address on July 3, President Obama announced that the Department of Energy had awarded a $1.45 billion loan guarantee to Abengoa Solar — a Spanish company where Morse is senior advisor for U.S. operations — to build one of the largest solar power More >

U.S. Secretary of Energy Steven Chu announced that the Department of Energy is announcing award selections for nearly $100 million for 54 smart grid workforce training programs intended to help prepare the next generation of workers in the utility and electrical manufacturing industries. These projects will leverage more than $95 million in funding from community colleges, universities, utilities and manufacturers to develop and implement training programs. The selectees estimate that the programs will train approximately 30,000 Americans.
Secretary Chu made the announcement while visiting a Pepco engineering and service center in Rockville, Maryland that is More >

Apr 28th
Apr 27, 2010
The House Science and Technology Committee should begin work this week on a multi-year reauthorization and increase in financial support for the 2007 America Competes Act. The original act provided for doubling funding for research and development programs at the National Science Foundation (NSF), the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), DOE’s Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) and for science, technology engineering and math education (STEM) programs. This reauthorization, HR 5116, also would give small to mid-size manufacturers access to federal technology loan guarantees and improve STEM program coordination. GridWise Alliance President Katherine Hamilton said, “This bill will help foster Smart Grid technologies that are More >

DAVID J. LEEDS 03 04 10
In the new energy race, China is not likely to blink an eye over the DOE’s new $400 million advanced research program for greentech.
After sitting through presentations from a “who’s who” of the energy world these past two days at the DOE’s inaugural ARPA-E Innovation Summit, any one of the more than 1,700 individuals in the room likely needed to call upon their deepest sense of equanimity or find the nearest cocktail bar.
On the one hand, it would be hard to rival, or argue against, the talent and commitment of the ARPA-E team, from Director Majumdar More >
