Breakthrough Institute

Reid and the Senate now have the responsibility to ensure that long-term clean energy R&D efforts are given the funding they desperately need to secure America's leadership in clean energy innovation.

While the bill is a (very) small step in the right direction, the clean energy R&D investments in Kerry-Boxer still fall far short of filling our energy innovation gap.

Modeled after the NIH, a New National Institutes of Energy (NIE) would be designed to most effectively channel R&D funding toward the development of new, low-cost commercial clean energy technologies.

The current boom in private wind financing will only result in another eventual bust without any consideration for the long-term past the stimulus bill.

Senator Brown's efforts to advance new investments in clean energy technologies and manufacturing are critical.

The radioactive disinformers of The Breakthrough Institute have broken through to the MSM again.

The bill doesn't go far enough to spark the transition to a clean energy economy we need to avert catastrophic climate change. It does not meet the science. It does not meet Obama's promises.

If you convince the media you are, say, part of the progressive environmental movement, you can get all the media attention you want by then trashing your supposed allies.
