Cuts to renewable energy funding passed by the U.S. House
Jul 15, 2011

The U.S. House of Representatives voted 219-196 July 15 to cut federal
funding for renewable energy while boosting funding for research into
emissions control technology and a nuclear waste repository.
Dow Jones reported that the cuts were part of a bill that would fund the
Department of Energy and other agencies for the 2012 budget year. The bill
would reduce spending on solar energy research and loan guarantees for
renewable projects and would increase funding for research into emissions
control technology for coal-fired power plants and continue work on the
Yucca Mountain nuclear waste disposal site in Nevada.
Amendments adopted on the House floor added $10 million for solar energy
research and $79 million for the DOE's Advanced Research Projects Agency,
