Available ARRA…$32.7 BillionEnergy Efficiency $16.8 B• Weatherization $5.0 B *• State Energy Programs $3.1 B *• Advance Battery Manufacture…$2.0 B• Energy Efficiency and Renewable…$6.7 B * primarily allocated by formula
What is available…• http://www.energy.gov/recovery/funding.htm Funding Opportunity Announcement Clean Cities Petroleum Reduction Techniques Electric Drive Vehicle Batteries and Components
Alternative Isotope Production Techniques DOE sets energy agenda and announces funding opportunity…no formulas…stringent contracting requirements…broad range of categories
procurement pros already stretched thin…scalawags prevalent in the past
ARRA program…prone to criticism• real and imagined
ARRA program…transparent

My plea for sympathy
Before
• Global warming was not considered in any decision about energy policy
• Money was the primary consideration in setting energy policy
• There was no energy policy
Now…• The squeaky voiced
environmentalists sitting
in the cold and dark before….
• …are now
Steven ChuSecretary of Energy
Now all decisions
What changed…• Used to be military-industrial
complex • Negative connotations • Probably still exists
Perfect alignment of interests
Congress
Agencies
Companies
• Wall Street Journal coined the name•
Environmentalists• You • $$$$
Now it’s the climate-industrial Complex
Along comes AmericanRecovery and Reinvestment Act• Reduce dependence on foreign oil• Get the economy moving • Create jobs• Reduce carbon emissions• Build Smart Grid• Go green• Create new industries
