Trump Administration’s Renewable and Energy Efficiency Budget Cuts at the DOE!
OVERVIEW
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) was formed
almost 40 years ago, from the underpinnings of the Atomic Energy Commission,
Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and the Energy Research and Development
Administration.
Today, the DOE supports a broad portfolio of
programs, including Nuclear Energy, Fossil Energy, Electricity Delivery and
Energy Reliability, Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability, Renewable
Energy, Energy Efficiency, Sustainable Transportation, Science, and
Crosscutting Innovation Initiatives; to carry out critical responsibilities for
America’s security and economy in three areas:
- Building the Future through
Science and Clean Energy
- Ensuring Nuclear Security, and
- Organizing, Managing and
Modernizing the Department to Better Achieve Its Enduring Missions.
The Trump administration released its “America
First” budget blueprint with deep cuts for health care and climate and clean
energy programs -- despite the bipartisan support these initiatives
enjoy.
In Sep. 2017, the U.S. House of Representatives
took a major step toward setting federal science budgets for the 2018 fiscal
year. But Congress is still far from the finish line, and final spending levels
aren’t likely to be finalized until late this year, at the earliest.
Whatever the final outcome, DOE's - Office of
Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy may be left with an appalling spending
level of $636 million, $1.4 billion below the FY 2016 enacted budget of $2.1
billion.
Now practically decapitated, it’s difficult to
understand how the Department can backup statements made in the budget request,
and I QUOTE “The FY 2018 Budget Request invests $695 million to maintain
America’s leadership in transformative science and emerging energy technologies
in sustainable transportation, renewable power, and energy efficiency.”
UNQUOTE.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND
Securing energy independence from foreign oil
was driven by federal mandates from the Environmental Protection Agency and
home grown technology rather than DOE initiatives.
Moving from goals to practice, the questions
then emerge whether DOE’s has met it objectives, are the dollars allocated to
the department justifiable and how best to measure its performance. To answer
these questions, this Webinar takes an in-depth look at DOE’s “Office of Energy
Efficiency and Renewable Energy” (EERE).
This Office was selected on the basis of
renewable energy’s and energy efficiency’s vital role in providing an effective
pathway to ensure America’s energy independence while reducing US contribution
to climate change. Additionally, renewable energy and energy efficiency play a
critical part in making food, water and energy systems more sustainable, as
well as reducing the strain between the three.
The mission of EERE is to create and sustain
American leadership in the transition to a global clean energy economy and to
accelerate the transition of U.S. energy economy from fossil fuels to clean
energy, and thereby reduce emissions of harmful GHG and pollutants emitted
during the combustion / burning of hydrocarbon resources for electricity, heat
and transportation. All of which provides an effective pathway to ensure
America’s energy independence while reducing US contribution to climate
change.
AREAS COVERED
Don’t be afraid to give away some of your
juiciest ideas—that will only serve to whet the audience’s appetite for more

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Whether you agree with the final grade, the
Webinar is fact based and impartial. It views the Department of Energy’s
“Office of Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency” from the standpoint of
budget appropriations and credible studies of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. A
best attempt is made to untether consumption of fossil fuels in the U.S as a
direct cause of climate change. Though indirect references are unavoidable.
Information is presented solely to make a case for or against EERE’s
effectiveness in reducing U.S. fossil fuel emissions.
Most of the information contained herein lends
itself to solid debates. Regardless of cause, what is less controversial is the
rise of atmospheric heat-trapping gases as well as a continual increase in the
surface temperatures on earth. Packed within this discussion are explanatory
entries that serve as learning aids to ensure a basic understanding of the
information under review.
WHO WILL BENEFIT
Federal, state, and local representatives;
energy resource managers; scientists; engineers; energy planners; educators;
and the public.
