Yesterday (6/2/09), I attended a short speech by Dr. Steven Chu, the U.S. Energy Secretary, at Indiana University Purdue University at Fort Wayne. In his speech, Dr. Chu announced the grovernment’s plan for “stimulating” alternative energy industries.
He stressed the need to develop alternative energy sources such as Wind Energy and Geothermal Energy, and announced nearly $50 million in stimulus funding to advance commercial deployment of geothermal heating pumps (GHPs). Secretary Chu says expanded use of GHPs will create jobs for engineers, manufacturers and technicians while reducing the use of fossil fuels. He also shared his dream one day of wide use of electric “plug-in” vehicles.
