In the Fiscal Year 2014 Energy & Water bill, the House Energy and Water
Appropriations subcommittee has cut total funding for key Department of
Energy offices by nearly 20 percent from already-sequestered FY2013
levels. The budget for DOE's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable
Energy would be slashed by 43 percent from FY2013 levels under
sequestration, or nearly 65 percent from the President's requested
levels for FY2014. The House proposal also slashes the Advanced Research
Projects Agency-Energy budget by 80 percent from FY2013 levels and 87
percent from the President's request for FY2014.
