The $24.8 billion budget was detailed by U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu, highlighting the Administration's commitment to provide clean energy jobs, invest in research and innovation, maintain nuclear security, and curb greenhouse gasses. The budget also requests the Department of Energy places more emphasis on fiscal reform.
"We see billions of dollars flowing into clean-tech, but very few organizations working as effectively as NIREC to make sure that breakthrough products can 'cross the chasm' to commercialization."
