Renewable Energy in 2010, Part 1:
Federal Initiatives that Target Renewable Energy
Thursday, February 18, 2010
1:00 pm eastern; 90 minutes
In 2009, the federal government committed billions in potential grants and tax incentives for renewable energy projects, yet each incentive program carries with it a unique mix of costs and benefits. At the same time, Congress, the agencies, and the courts are tackling environmental matters in a way that could impose major new costs on emitting greenhouse gasses, placing a premium on the renewable generation of electricity. Finally, because many renewable resources are located far from consumers, the surge in renewable generation is posing a major challenge for the U.S. electric transmission system. So far, progress has been slow, and without new planning, siting, and cost-allocation systems, the limits of today’s transmission system could delay future renewable energy projects.
