I have been asked a lot of questions recently about the Federal stimulus package. Technically called the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act it has a lot of provisions for green energy and efficiency.
The best short summary I have read is here.
I also have a very detailed spreadsheet for anyone who wants more detail. Contact me and I can provide it.
Like most people in the energy business I am reviewing the packages to see what applies to our business and customers.
Today on Here and Now, a radio program:
The $787 billion stimulus package that President Obama will sign in Denver today sets aside $4.5 billion to upgrade the nation’s electrical grid to a so-called “smart grid.” The energy saving technology is being tested on a large scale in Boulder, Colorado where 45,000 homes will be hooked into the “smart grid” by summer. The Chancellor’s Residence at the University of Colorado-Boulder has become the model home. We talk with the chancellor’s wife, Val Peterson, about life on the “smart grid.”
