A major focus of efforts to address possible global climate change has been on energy use, given that carbon dioxide, the major "greenhouse gas," is added to the atmosphere when fossil fuels are burned. FEderal programs to increase energy efficiency and the use of reneeable energy resources have a history that goes back well over two decades. While many of these efforts were aimed at reducing U.S. dependence on oil imports and addressing electricity needs, they also are relevant to environmental cencerns, including climate change. The Climate Change Technology Initiative(CCTI) was the Clinton Administration's Package of R&D (to develop renewable energy sources and more energy efficient technologies), targeted tax credits(to encourage purchase and deployment of more efficient technologies), and voluntary information programs(to help business and schools be better informed when making purchasing and operating decisions that involve energy use and emissions). These programs have been funded as described in this report for FY2001.
