The United States at the present stage of the new energy is the core concept of nuclear energy, but solar, wind, biomass, geothermal, ocean energy and other development also go hand in hand. 20% of current U.S. electricity comes from nuclear energy, 70% of the cleaning power also comes from nuclear power. The end of 2008, the U.S. total installed wind power capacity of 25.2 billion kilowatts, the new wind power installed capacity of 8.4 billion kilowatts, ranking the first in the world. 2008 U.S. installed capacity of 8,775,000 kilowatts of solar, up 17%; the amount of solar cells into ranks third in the world; Florida invest 2 billion U.S. dollars to build the world’s first truly solar city. As of 2009, the U.S. national electricity production of 1 / 3 from non-carbon energy. In addition, new energy development as a supplement to the United States also vigorously develop energy-saving technologies.
The new U.S. energy use has been in full swing. In line with the Government’s new energy strategy, as the fossil energy consumption in the United States the largest single user (fiscal year 2005 the U.S. government fuel consumption accounted for 93% of the total), the U.S. military from the Army in 2006 began to study energy issues, the Ministry of Defence is has become the largest user of bio-fuels. The end of 2007, America’s largest solar installations in the Nellis Air Force Base in use. To avoid competing with the crop and forest land, the military also plans to use the waste land to grow fuel crops dell Inspiron 8600M battery dell Inspiron 8500 battery .
Obama shortly after taking office the launch of the “American Renaissance and the re-投资 计划”, Zhunbei Zai 3 years Rang the United States doubling of renewable energy production, plan the next 10 years invested 1500 million on the new energy development, Bing create 5 million new jobs; to 2015 new 1 million hybrid vehicles; to do so in 2012 accounted for wind and solar power generation 10% of U.S. electricity by 2025 accounted for 25%, achieved over the past 30 years to reach objectives. Obama will also invest in the White House, the country’s schools, public buildings for energy saving. The achievement of these goals, the United States no doubt will again walk in front of the world.
Obama energy policy practicable
Obama expressed in his inaugural speech, the enthusiasm for the development of new energy: “We will use solar, wind and soil for our cars and our factories,” he will also work with new energy-related climate change issues as the Session one of the Government’s three major tasks, their degree of concern on the new energy, then the Clinton administration initiated with the technological revolution comparable to the Internet. Obama is so high to see the new energy industry, First, to address the financial crisis in order to promote sustainable economic growth in the United States; second is to adjust the energy supply structure, to ensure future energy security; third is trying to create new industry to add new jobs; Fourth, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. After all, the U.S. government is attempting to maintain a competitive advantage, occupying high ground of the post-petroleum era economy.
Therefore the new energy industry is not only an economic problem, but also a political issue, the United States needs the help of Youshi industry allocation of resources to change the international system, continue to dominate the world trade rules, control Guoji strategic technology market, by reducing dependence on traditional energy sources to improve their operational flexibility, as the superior military power to provide uninterrupted logistics support, and global climate change in the game around to occupy the moral high ground, in order to maintain its leadership position in the world dell Inspiron 8600 battery dell Latitude D800 battery .
U.S. Labor Secretary Xierdasuo Leith in a second National Clean Energy Summit, the on to a new “industrial revolution” to describe the future of new energy industries, the U.S. government to fully express the degree of attention to this. Chairman of the Alliance to save energy while Charles Abraham said: “Energy efficiency and clean energy technologies based on economic reconstruction and the protection of the environment, and keep the United States regain leadership in the global economy the best way, perhaps the only way. ”
Compared to the Bush administration, Obama energy issues on the Government’s Zhanlue new thinking may exert step, Zhu Yao performance make : First, Bush focus of our attention Zaiyu oil imports De diversity and ensure the smooth transport Tongdao, Er Austria Bama put the focus on the development of new energy, which helps to fundamentally reduce excessive dependence on oil; new U.S. Department of Energy Secretary Steven Chu, the statement said his focus is to promote renewable energy development, rather than dealing with OPEC. Second, the Bush administration focused on improving the energy efficiency of traditional energy, but Obama is not only concerned about energy issues, and also focus on reducing energy and pollution; Third, the Bush administration will reduce the development of new energy as the tactical goals of international dependency, and Obama Ma government will rise to the strategic level of their concern for new energy for the United States long-term impact of international competitiveness; Fourth, the Bush administration succumbed to domestic pressure for immediate and refused to sign the “Kyoto Protocol”, the Obama administration showed a positive attitude, choose green energy as a breakthrough, by “self-interest does not harm the people” approach to resolve international pressure, to maintain America’s international image. So the whole, Obama’s energy policy to achieve the transcendence of the Bush policy dell 8N544 battery dell Inspiron 1100 battery .
U.S. policy guidance
In the development of new energy sources, the Government affects the market pull and technology push are three indispensable, which is the core part of the relevant policies of the government. Since the new century the U.S. government the development of new energy industry increasingly seriously and use legal means to provide strong policy support.
August 2005, President Bush signed the “National Energy Policy Act of 2005.” Which states that from 2005, the United States began to implement solar investment tax credit policy: residents or corporate persons in residential and commercial buildings to install solar roof systems power generation to enjoy the proceeds from investment tax credits, the amount equivalent to 30% of installation costs. After the expiration of this law, Congress has been adjusted to require that commercial PV project to extend the investment tax relief for 8 years, residential photovoltaic project to extend the investment tax credit policy for 2 years, canceled the project 2000 U.S. dollars each and every household PV reduction tax cap.
2007, Congress passed the “American Energy Independence and Security Act” to require by 2025 clean energy technologies and energy efficiency investments in technology will reach 190 billion U.S. dollars, of which 90 billion U.S. dollars into energy efficiency and renewable energy, 600 million for carbon capture and storage technology, 200 million for electric vehicles and other advanced technology vehicles, and then allocate 20 billion U.S. dollars for basic scientific research and development.
After taking office, Obama quickly led to the government “in 2009 to restore and re-investment Act” by requiring the transfer of about 500 billion goes to develop green energy and energy efficiency, 140 million for renewable energy projects, 4.5 billion dollars for the transformation of smart grid, and 64 million for clean energy projects, 63 billion dollars to the state level to improve the energy efficiency funds, 50 billion dollars to transform the family home of the Winter protection performance of 45 billion dollars to help improve federal energy efficiency in buildings, 18.9 million U.S. dollars to build a “green transportation.” dell Inspiron 1150 battery dell Inspiron 5100 battery
June 2009, the House of Representatives passed the “Clean Energy Security Act of the United States”, although its content is controversial, the Senate, but the bill’s renewable energy sector has been through the consideration of that energy issues in the new Congress has a basic consensus on . Published at the beginning of the first State of the Union, Obama made from 2011 onwards, in addition to national security, health care and government spending outside of Social Security will be frozen three years, but will continue in the new energy, education and infrastructure etc. increase investment. Since 69% of current U.S. energy consumption for transportation, Obama also asked the Government to invest 600 million U.S. dollars for consumers to buy more fuel-efficient vehicles.
The development of the new U.S. energy industry characteristics
Political as foreshadowing. The beginning of the Obama administration will rise to the development of new energy related to national security and strategic future, he repeated on various occasions stressed the importance of the new energy strategy, to use their political resources to lobbying Congress, and vigorously promote In the new international cooperation in the energy field. The Government has been organizing academic discussions of planning and development prospects, introduced to encourage energy innovation and competition of various mechanisms. Obama still pay attention to balancing the demands of various interest groups, coordination of new energy and traditional energy sector internal competition, to avoid making enemies too much and fall short. That the current issue of the new energy all the people of the United States have gone beyond the stage, but the cash into a strategic policy planning and implementation process.
Academic as a guide. The energetic efforts of the government, the United States think-tank will also be new types of energy as its research focus and continuing to adopt the study to help the Government in strategic planning and tactical analysis, an optional step to resolve all conflicts. U.S. Nuclear Energy Institute in 2002 to the U.S. Department of Energy on the proposed “nuclear energy development in 2020 the U.S. draft plan”; Center for American Progress and Future Energy Coalition recently published a “reconstruction of the United States – a policy framework for investment in energy saving” The report, submitted in 2020 to complete the 5 million transformation of the building, about 40% of the total U.S. construction. There is also a new study shows that renewable energy can not only create thousands of new jobs, and traditional manufacturing industries, large states such as Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Indiana, also from a broad range of green technology, growth was Lee dell Inspiron 5150 battery .
Science and technology as the core. The United States has the world’s most powerful technology innovation, and this is the ultimate elements of the development of new energy sources. If the efficiency of existing solar cells is around 15%, while Lawrence – Berkeley National Laboratory invented a new type of semiconductor materials, solar energy utilization may be increased to 45% to 50% level. U.S. solar companies and Pacific Gas and Electric Corporation who plans to be in the solar cell array 2016 into space, the use of advanced technology to the received power into a microwave, and then sent to Earth transformed into electrical energy use. On the effective use of biomass is another priority. U.S. Department of Energy has introduced with the manufacturers, such as “solar design competition”, “semiconductor lighting technology race” or similar activities, by encouraging young people to expand science and technology competition to achieve the sustainable development of science and technology innovation.
Action for the protection. In order to facilitate the implementation of the relevant provisions of the U.S. government are very specific, actionable, for the specific implementation provides a great convenience. Such as “National Energy Policy Act of 2005″ on what to do, who do, how to do it, in violation of the provisions of the disposal have been explicit. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency proposed new rules are described in detail various renewable fuels must meet the annual production, demands a specific amount must be added to gasoline to renewable fuels and to increase each year, to 2022 in fuel consumption of about 21 billion gallons in should come from cellulosic biomass diesel or other qualified bio-fuel. House of Representatives passed the “Clean Energy Security Act” requires all the power companies by 2020 from renewable energy and energy efficiency improvement methods to meet the electric deliveries to 20%, 15% need to come from wind, solar and other renewable energy sources, 5% from energy efficiency.
Any early stage of development of new industries are Buhui smooth sailing, the current Obama Zhengfuyezai Wei Xie Tiao all interests, Huoqu Congress to support Er bustle, Dan United States of the energy change will be a long-term based, Duo Yuan, portfolio strategy, which impact lies in the future, not just now dell Inspiron 5160 battery dell U4873 battery .
