Last week, the United States government did something very smart: it decided to bet on the future.
The Energy Department and the Treasury Department announced they would begin accepting applications for some $3 billion set aside to fund renewable-energy projects:
As the article notes:
“The departments estimate that they will distribute at least $3 billion in financial aid to about 5,000 bio-mass, solar, wind and other types of renewable- energy production facilities.”
Before now, the government has offered tax credits and loan guarantees for renewable energy projects. Now, it’s offering cash. And why not? Renewable energy is the future. And that future is already beginning.
