This working paper covers energy security strategy, the role of the executive office of the president, and the federal agency infrastructure for implementing strategy.

  • Innovation: in basic research into alternative and renewable fuels, end-use technologies, and propagation and commercialization of science and technology
  • Job creation: “green jobs” can be an important part of the economic recovery and address the nation’s energy and environmental challenges at the same time.
