Examples of new major U.S. renewable energy initiatives (1)
President Obama today announced that the U.S. Departments of Agriculture, Energy, and Navy will invest up to $510 million during the next three years in partnership with the private sector to produce advanced drop-in aviation and marine biofuels to power military and commercial transportation (August 16, 2011)
U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu today announced a $50 million investment over two years for the SUNPATH program, aimed to help the nation reclaim its competitive edge in solar manufacturing. SUNPATH, which stands for Scaling Up Nascent PV At Home (August 2, 2011)

Examples of new major U.S. renewable energy initiatives (2)
U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu today announced more than $175 million over the next three to five years to accelerate the development and deployment of advanced vehicle technologies. The funding will support 40 projects across 15 states and will help improve the fuel efficiency of next generation vehicles (August 10, 2011)
The U.S. Department of Energy today released a report –2011 U.S. Billion-Ton Update: Biomass Supply for a Bioenergy and Bioproducts Industry – detailing U.S. biomass feedstock potential nationwide. The report examines the nation's capacity to produce a billion dry tons of biomass resources annually for energy uses without impacting other vital U.S. farm and forest products (August 10, 2011)

Blueprint for a Secure Energy Future
Defined in terms of a three part strategyDevelop and secure America’s energy supplyProvide consumers with choices to reduce costs and save energyInnovate our way to a clean energy future
(March 31, 2011: http://www.whitehouse.gov/energy/our-environment)
11
(I) Develop and Secure America’s Energy SupplyExpand safe and responsible domestic oil and gas development and productionLead the world towards safer, cleaner and more secure energy supplies
USDOE is leading an unconventional gas census for APECWorking to make international bioenergy sustainable Promoting the transition to electric vehiclesEncouraging the transition to clean energy technologies (convened the Clean Energy Ministerial)Reducing oil use with bioenergy (launching the Global Bioenergy Partnership directed at West Africa to encourage the transition from traditional biomass to modern bioenergy)Encourage alternative fuels and mass transit in developing countries ( includes support of natural gas and hybrid-diesel buses in APEC economies of Thailand and Vietnam as part of Clean Technology Fund)
12
(II) Provide Consumers with Choices to Reduce Costs and Save Energy
Reduce consumer costs at the pump with more efficient cars and trucks
Cut energy bills with more efficient homes and buildings
13
(II) Provide Consumers with Choices to Reduce Costs and Save Energy
Investing in Advanced Vehicle Technology and Infrastructure (Recovery Act: $2.5 billion for EV R&D)
14
(II) Provide Consumers with Choices to Reduce Costs and Save Energy
Cut energy bills with more efficient homes and buildings
Specific activities are proposed for the residential, commercial and industrial sectorsThe President signed an Executive Order directing Federal agencies to achieve zero net energy by 2030
15
(III) Innovate our Way to a Clean Energy Future
Harness America’s clean energy potential
Win the future through clean energy research and development
Lead by example: Clean Energy and the Federal Government
16
(III) Innovate our Way to a Clean Energy Future
Harness America’s clean energy potentialIssue permits for 10,000 MW of renewable power on public lands and offshore waters by the end of 2012
17
(III) Innovate our Way to a Clean Energy Future
Set a new Clean Energy Standard (CES) which sets an annual target for electricity from clean energy sources
1. Credit a broad range of clean energy sources2. Double the share of clean electricity over the next 25 years
(currently at 40%)3. Protect consumers from rising energy bills4. Include energy efficiency policies that will lower consumers’
energy bills (e.g., appliance efficiency standards, tax credits)5. Help manufactures improve efficiency and reduce energy costs
(e.g., combined heat and power and waste-heat recovery)
18
(III) Innovate our Way to a Clean Energy Future
Win the future through clean energy research and development
19
(III) Innovate our Way to a Clean Energy Future
Lead by example: Clean Energy and the Federal Government The Federal government owns and manages over 500,000 buildings and operates more than 600,000 fleet vehicles

A Policy Framework for the 21st Century Grid
Produced by the Cabinet-level National Science and Technology CouncilIt is a framework to ensure that all Americans benefit from investments in the Nation’s electric infrastructureTo spur the development of a smarter grid, the Recovery Act invested $4.5 billion which was matched by over $5.5 billion of private funding
(June 2011: http://www.whitehouse.gov/administration/eop/ostp)
21
A Policy Framework for the 21st Century Grid
The framework is based on four pillars and recognized the importance of State and local jurisdictions and offers a collaborative path forward to modernize the grid
1. Enabling cost-effective smart grid investments2. Unlocking the potential of innovation in the electricity sector3. Empowering Consumers and enabling informed decision making4. Securing the grid
The 86 page document provides an up to date resource on current U.S. grid modernization efforts with 19 case studies and21 pages of internet linked references
