Department of Energy
The President's request for the Department of Energy reflects a 9.2 percent increase over last year's budget. Funding for science and technology activities, however, would increase by $12 percent. Research and development funding for nuclear and fossil fuel energy systems would decrease by five percent and ten percent respectively. Program highlights include:
- Inventions and Innovations Program – $6 million (up $1 million).
- NICE3 – $6 million
- Industries of the Future – $174 million (up $14 million)
