Eliminate ARPA-E
What the document says“Eliminate ARPA-E. The next Administration should work with Congress to eliminate ARPA–E.”
The chapter says the agency is unnecessary, risks taxpayer dollars and interferes with risk-benefit decisions that should be made by the private sector. ARPA-E funds early-stage energy research thought too risky for private investment.
What the document actually says“Eliminate ARPA-E. The next Administration should work with Congress to eliminate ARPA–E.”
That sentence, in plain words
Close ARPA-E. The next team should work with Congress to end it.
What this is about
ARPA-E pays for risky energy research. The idea is that firms will not fund it. The book says that is not the government's job.
