Book excerpt: The Obama Administration believes strongly that the United States must lead the clean energy economy of the 21st century. When more of our electricity comes from clean energy, our economy will be more stable, our country more secure, our people healthier and our environment more sustainable. In addition, building a robust clean energy industry will help create the high-paying, high-technology jobs our country's future requires. This book examines the U.S. Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Export Initiative which the Obama Administration has launched and which is the most concerted effort to date to develop America's capacity for manufacturing clean energy technologies.
