A bill promoting research, development and demonstration of solar technology passed the House last week with overwhelming support. The House bill, called the Solar Technology Roadmap Act and labeled HR 3585, creates an updatable strategic roadmap to advance solar energy technologies, according to a press release of the House Committee on Science and Technology.
The bill works to establish a framework for the Department of Energy to invest in solar technology, and would authorize $350 million for DOE to enact this RD&D beginning in 2011.
The bill has been sent to the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee for review.
