Obama has taken further steps to making his green economic plan a reality today by announcing several initiatives, including significant investments in clean energy. The main initiative the White House has undertaken today is $75 Billion to make the Research and Development tax credit permanent to keep the US at the forefront of new technologies. Some of the green technologies featured in the program include:
Orion Energy’s Apollo Light Pipe
This pipe literally pipes in sunlight from the outdoors, imbuing interior spaces with natural light and saving electricity.
Solyndra Solar Panel
This company is developing one of the world’s first cylindrical solar panels, which maximizes the efficiency of the panel.
