Energy touches our lives in countless ways and its costs are felt when we fill up at the gas pump, pay our home heating bills, and keep businesses both large and small running. There are long-term costs as well: to the environment, as natural resources are depleted and pollution contributes to global climate change, and to national security and independence, as many of the world's current energy sources are increasingly concentrated in geopolitically unstable regions. The country's challenge is to develop an energy portfolio that addresses these concerns while still providing sufficient, affordable energy reserves for the nation. The United States has enormous resources to put behind solutions to this energy challenge; the dilemma is to identify which solutions are the right ones. Before deciding which energy technologies to develop, and on what timeline, we need to understand them better. America's Energy Future analyzes the potential of a wide range of technologies for generation, distribution, and conservation of energy. This book considers technologies to increase energy efficiency, coal-fired power generation, nuclear power, renewable energy, oil and natural gas, and alternative transportation fuels. It offers a detailed assessment of the associated impacts and projected costs of implementing each technology and categorizes them into three time frames for implementation.
The Amer. Recovery and Reinvest. Act of 2009 (ARRA) provided the Gen. Serv. Admin. (GSA) with $5.55 billion to invest in fed. buildings and promote economic recovery. This funding includes $4.5 billion to convert buildings to high-performance green buildings (HPGB), which seek to reduce energy and water use. This report addresses the: (1) steps GSA has taken to implement the program and make its ARRA projects transparent to the public; (2) extent to which GSA¿s ARRA projects are helping the agency convert buildings to HPGB and addressing fed. energy and water conservation requirements and goals; and (3) extent to which GSA has identified potential risks to its ARRA program and developed strategies to mitigate those risks.
