Description

The Amer. Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) aims to promote economic recovery, make investments, and minimize or avoid reductions in state and local gov't. services. As of Feb. 2011, the Act will cost $821 billion in spending and tax provisions through 2019. The ARRA provided the Dept. of Energy (DoE) $41 billion in areas such as energy efficiency, renewable energy, and environ. cleanup. This included $3 billion for the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant program, $3 billion for the State Energy Program, and $5 billion for the Weatherization Assistance Program. This testimony focuses on DoE's obligations and spending of ARRA funds for these programs and jobs funded as a result of this spending. This is a print on demand report.
