ARPA-E requests innovative proposals which can overcome these challenges through the utilization of metabolic engineering and synthetic biological approaches for the efficient conversion of carbon dioxide to liquid transportation fuels. Coal-fired power plants currently generate approximately 50% of the electricity in the United States.

The DOE-QTR defines six key strategies: increase vehicle efficiency; electrification of the light duty fleet; deploy alternative fuels; increase building and industrial efficiency; modernize the electrical grid; and deploy clean electricity. DOE’s electrification strategy is focusing on light-duty vehicles.

The second copy set you gave us is a little light. And by that do you mean they were fronting the costs of the rebates and then not recouping them from the utilities? I’ve been amazed that most companies seem to front the cost, even start ups. THE HOLY GRAIL OF SOLAR: $3 A WATT, CHEAPER THAN COAL. That’s correct.

By contrast, the last time BYD executives traveled to the Detroit auto show they rented a suburban house to save the cost of hotel rooms.
