New Federal Funding for Alternative Energy Released
The Denver Post - New funding will be released from the Department of Energy's Office of Science to further the exploration of viable alternative energy.
"These centers will mobilize the enormous talents and skills of our nation's scientific workforce in pursuit of the breakthroughs that are essential to make alternative and renewable energy truly viable as large-scale replacements for fossil fuels," said Secretary of Energy Steven Chu.
The National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden, Colorado will receive part of that funding, and will be home to a new multimillion-dollar Energy Frontier Research Center, the U.S. Department of Energy announced Wednesday. NREL's center is expected to receive $4 million annually for five years.
NREL officials will also participate in research conducted by six other Energy Frontier Research Centers.
