In statement, Alliance to Save Energy President Kateri Callahan said, "President Obama’s last budget continues the solid and stalwart support for investing in a clean and efficient energy future that we have seen throughout his administration. Alliance applauds the decision to double budgetary support of clean energy programs, increasing to $12.8 billion in 2021, up from $6.4 billion in 2016, as part of the Mission Innovation initiative announced by Secretary of Energy Ernest Moniz last year."
