April 28, 2009 -- U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu is scheduled to visit the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden on Wednesday to announce funding for the agency from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Gov. Bill Ritter is scheduled to tour the facility with Secretary Chu.
"Secretary Chu could not have selected a better location to mark the first 100 days of the Obama Administration," Gov. Ritter said. "Not only is Colorado where President Obama signed the Recovery Act into law, but it's also the home of NREL and the New Energy Economy. NREL is a key partner in Colorado's New Energy Economy, and this funding will help create sustainable jobs and allow NREL to continue spurring innovation as we transform America's energy future."
The Recovery Act is expected to bring more than $7 billion to Colorado to support working families, help residents enter the workforce, and invest in infrastructure and growth industries.
