Karsner’s First Energy Speach

Alexander Karsner, the DOE’s new Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy gave his first speech last week at the annual Power-Gen Renewable Energy and Fuels Conference. The transcript is now available here (.pdf). It gives some insight as to where the US Government is going with their renewable energy plans. Karsner clearly states that there’s a link between terrorism and energy, and to break that link we need to be using more renewable energy, to which end he praises the Advanced Energy Initiative.
