DoD: Cleantech Hotbed

Anyone carrying the tea buckets against Green Growth and Alternatives Energy are just doing the special interests bidding and to lazy to get actual Facts, same they've done for some forty years. We started down that road back then and allowed it to be blocked, then it was meme's like energy is cheap, can't use that anymore, now it's mostly denial of what we've been doing to the environment all these decades, our environment! It's been blocking the implementation of another of the once envied by all industries into a once vibrant economy and growth of. Those who envied have now taken the lead as well as those innovations we developed and greatly improved on and are still doing so. They also now have the needed innovative skilled experienced workforce of trades workers to continue growing while we only follow and fall rapidly because of the non investments from that top down capitalism, which ruined all we had, while everyone else moves forward!!

The Pentagon said some 575 proposals were “submitted by private firms, universities and federal organizations,” and that a competitive process yielded the winners in five areas: smart microgrids and energy storage; component technologies for building energy efficiency; building energy management and control technologies; tools and processes for design, assessment and decision-making associated with energy use and management; and technologies for renewable energy generation. read more>>>
