Re-Energizing America

Now is the time to rebuild American energy innovation leadership to create a reliable energy future that is cleaner, more affordable, and more secure.

The Road Ahead calls for a federal investment of

Billion

$ 0

for DOE’s RD&D programs
by 2030.

After more than 150 years of leading the world in developing energy technology, the U.S. is now at risk of falling behind.

Re-Energizing America is a new roadmap to address the innovation cliff that will occur when substantial federal funding expires in 2026.

Policy Imperatives

Re-Energizing America presents four policy imperatives that drive the need for renewed federal investment in energy innovation.

Energy
Security

Our overdependence on foreign supply chains exposes critical vulnerabilities. 

Affordability

Consumers across the country face rising energy prices.

Economic Opportunity

Domestic innovation in the technologies of the future will drive job creation and economic growth.

Decarbonization

The continued rise of global emissions requires technological breakthroughs to meet the moment.

Technology Pillars

We’ve identified ten technology pillars for which federal innovation support would advance the U.S. toward decarbonization and economic opportunity:

Pillar 1

Foundational science and platform technologies

Electrochemistry, quantum computing, and machine learning.

Secure, efficient, digitally enables power systems

Electricity transmission, storage, and virtual power plants.

Clean firm electricity generation

Advanced nuclear fission, fusion energy, enhanced geothermal.

Variable electricity generation

Tandem and flexible photovoltaics, floating wind, marine energy.

Advanced transportation systems

Medium and heavy-duty trucking, maritime, air, rail.

Sustainable fuels

Advanced biofuels, synthetic hydrocarbons, clean electricity.

Efficient buildings

Ground-source heat pumps, improved building envelopes, smart sensors.

Clean and competitive manufacturing

Heavy industries, artificial intelligence applications, power system components.

Secure supply chains

Battery chemistry, natural resource exploration, material processing.

Carbon management

Carbon management, carbon capture, carbon storage.
