President Obama announced on Monday new actions to bring renewable energy and energy efficiency to households across the United States.
In a press release, the White House discussed the "responsible" steps it will take to address climate change, promote clean energy and energy efficiency, drive innovation, and ensure a cleaner, more stable environment.
The initiatives include:
- $1 billion in additional loan guarantee for energy projects.
- Making Property-Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) financing available for single-family housing easier to invest in.
- Launching new programs to provide home owners with new tools to measure and improve the energy efficiency of their homes.
- Creating a DOD Privatized Housing Solar Challenge.
- A $24 million commitment for 11 projects in seven states to double the amount of energy existing solar panels can produce.
- Approving a transmission line to support a 485-megawatt photovoltaic facility.
- Creating an Interagency Task Force to Promote a Clean Energy Future for All Americans.
The White House continued that its initiatives are expected to reduce emissions by 26-28 percent below 2005 levels in 2025 while also doubling energy productivity by 2030.
