Third Way and over 60 stakeholders including Green Strategies, Inc., sent a letter urging Congressional leaders to continue to channel funds towards Department of Energy (DOE) innovation activities as part of FY2024 appropriations. DOE has a key role in supporting the research, development, demonstration, and deployment (RDD&D) of both commercial and early-stage clean energy technologies. The DOE has an even more crucial role in bridging the innovation “valley of death” that sometimes befalls early-stage technologies. Annual investments can help ensure an array of offices and programs receive funding necessary to continue creating jobs, strengthening energy security and reducing emissions.
Signatories span from the political spectrum and include the carbon-free energy industry, environmental NGOs, and investment groups and thank Congress for their leadership and continued commitment to clean technology RDD&D.
Further details and the full letter are available in the Third Way Press Release.
The letter was also featured in Politico’s Morning Energy.
