GAO Report Catalogues Renewable Energy Initiatives

To help target federal spending activities that will most effectively meet national renewable energy needs and identify duplicative programs, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) published a detailed inventory of all federal renewable energy initiatives implemented by 23 departments and independent agencies in 2010. An accompanying report also examines the federal roles supported by agencies' renewable energy initiatives, including R&D and commercialization and deployment. The Departments of Defense, Agriculture, Energy, and Interior collectively were responsible for nearly 60 percent of all initiatives. Download the report: http://www.gao.gov/assets/590/588876.pdf.
