The White House website already has a page on the “New Energy for America” plan. They’re on it!
An article in this week’s edition of “EERE Network News” from DOE’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, talks about President Obama’s inaugural address and its reference to renewables: how the US will “harness the sun and the winds and the soil to fuel our cars and run our factories.” It also notes that the address confronted climate change by saying “with old friends and former foes, we will work tirelessly to … roll back the specter of a warming planet.”
The new Secretary of the Interior, Ken Salazar, has said “I will be a strong and forceful advocate for the wise stewardship of our nation’s land and water resources, I will help us build a clean energy economy for the twenty-first century ” (See the release.)
