Breakdown of Obama’s Clean Energy & Efficiency Budget for 2013

The President’s $3.8 trillion budget for fiscal year 2013, includes $6.7 billion for clean energy programs. According to a White House press release, this represents a 13 percent increase over the last enacted budget. (See the bottom of the page for a detailed breakdown of the President’s 2013 budget proposal for clean energy and efficiency).

A total of $2.3 billion is directed towards the DOE’s office of energy efficiency and renewable energy projects. The DOE projects are known as EERE. EERE’s and their goal is to make clean energy cost-competitive with conventional sources. They also seek to make American businesses more energy efficient.

Although there is no new money for the DOE loan guarantee program, there is a plan to reauthorize $5 billion in new tax credits for clean energy manufacturers.

Obama also wants to cut $4 billion in yearly tax breaks for big oil, gas and coal companies over the next ten years.

Predictably conservative Republicans reject the budget and they are demanding deep cuts to existing clean energy programs.
