My plea for sympathy ARRA program…hard • more than double our budget…procurement pros already stretched thin…scalawags prevalent in the past ARRA program…prone to criticism • real and imagined ARRA program…transparent http://www.energy.gov/recovery/reports.htm
Before • Global warming was not considered in any decision about energy policy • Money was the primary consideration in setting energy policy • There was no energy policy
Now… • The squeaky voiced environmentalists sitting in the cold and dark before…. • …are now Steven Chu Secretary of Energy
What changed… • Used to be military-industrial complex • Negative connotations • Probably still exists
Perfect alignment of interests Congress Agencies Companies
Now it’s the climate-industrial Complex • Wall Street Journal coined the name • Environmentalists • You • $$$$
Along comes AmericanRecovery andReinvestment Act • Reduce dependence on foreign oil • Get the economy moving • Create jobs • Reduce carbon emissions • Build Smart Grid • Go green • Create new industries
