Efficiency and Renewable Energy:
FY 2008 Budget Review
Thursday,
March 22, 2007,
2:00 PM
- 3:30 PM
2325
Rayburn House Office Building
The Environmental and Energy Study Institute and
the House and Senate Renewable
Energy & Energy Efficiency Caucuses invite you to a
briefing addressing the impacts of the President’s FY 2008
budget on energy efficiency and renewable energy (EE/RE)
programs, including impacts upon states and low-income
consumers.
The
panel will cover the implications of the FY 2008 budget on
federal energy efficiency and renewable energy programs,
focusing primarily on DOE’s energy efficiency and renewable
energy R&D technology programs.
It also will cover the impact of the budget on important
energy programs operated by states, including weatherization. With
dramatically rising energy prices for homes, businesses and
vehicles, the states will share their concerns about shortfalls
in Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) funding
and the proposed cut to the Weatherization Assistance Program.
