NREL head calls for increased RE goal (Feb 2007)

Current U.S. renewable energy goal too low, says head of national lab. Alvin Powell, Harvard News Office, 7 Feb 2007. http://www.news.harvard.edu/gazette/2007/02.08/09-energy.html

• Says government needs to set more ambitious target: biofuels should make up 30 percent of fuel supply by 2030, wind should generate 20% of electricity, and solar should be market competitive by 2015
• The National Lab's budget has been stuck at $200 million for the past four years, he said, while its operating budget has actually declined.
