DOE Invests $12M into Solar Project Development
Clean energy is getting more funding from the Department of Energy, launching four solar partnerships through the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.
Energy Secretary Steven Chu announced Wednesday that four solar companies are getting $12 million to transition prototype and pre-commercial photovoltaic technologies into pilot and full-scale manufacturing.
Alta Devices, Solar Junction, Tetra Sun and Semprius will each get $3 million from DOE, to make solar energy more cost-competitive with conventional forms of electricity.
“Expanding the solar power industry in the U.S. can create new jobs, reduce carbon pollution and save consumers money,” Chu said in a statement. “By partnering with NREL, these companies will be able to gain from their expertise, accelerate the pace of innovation and help get technologies to market faster.”
Through the Recovery Act, DOE is investing more than $117 million in developing and deploying solar energy technologies.

Anything that the government
Anything that the government is doing in order to create energy from natural resources is a positive thing. People are so caught up in the Health Insurance craze -- we should be diverting their attention to the positive progress being made in the energy sector.
Great post!

Solar projects are very useful in these days as because we have limited non renewable sources of energy with us due their rapid consumption.The main sources of energy are going to extinct very soon so it is better to preserve them.
