Abstract |
The combination of the FY 2010 budget request for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the energy-related stimulus funds would provide a substantial boost for DOE supported energy research, development, and demonstrations a doubling over FY 2009, or $7.2 billion, if we assume that a half of the Recovery Act funds will be available in fiscal year (FY) 2010. The funds from the Recovery Act are available for program managers to begin obligating now, in FY 2009, and DOE is struggling to obligate these funds rapidly, to contribute to economic recovery. But as it takes some time to ramp up most research, development, demonstration, and deployment programs, we have assumed for the purposes of the overall comparison, that the Recovery Act funds are available to program managers in FY 2010 and FY 2011 so that the FY 2010 request plus a portion of the Recovery Act can be compared to the FY 2009 appropriation, the last appropriation based on an initial funding request from the Bush administration. The support for the deployment of energy technologies in the Recovery Act managed by DOE totals $23.6 billion, which is almost 3 times larger than the $8.0 billion that were appropriated for FY 2009. |
