Feb. 5 –The Department of Energy isn’t distributing funding for clean energy research fast enough, House Democrats said Wednesday.
At a hearing before the oversight panel of the House Science and Space Committee, Chairman Rep. Bill Foster, D-Ill., said the department’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy didn’t spend $823 million in funding appropriated by Congress last year, more than a third of its budget.
