Description (excerpt):
There is a growing urgency for the United States to address the critical challenges of climate change and global economic competitiveness. A robust energy innovation agenda must be at the heart of this strategy because all the technologies we need to address climate change simply do not yet exist. Bipartisan momentum is gathering around a technology-forward innovation agenda. For the United States to effectively nurture climate-saving technologies and maintain our position of global economic leadership, we must triple our investment in the full energy innovation lifecycle. This will require increasing federal support for basic science research to creating effective federal institutional and financial structures to support the scale-up and demonstration of low-and zero-emission energy technologies for deployment here and export abroad.
