Kenneth, what numbers are you basing your statement on?

WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Secretary of Energy Samuel W. Bodman today announced President Bush’s Fiscal Year (FY) 2007 Budget for the Department of Energy (DOE) requests $23.6 billion, a $124 million increase over the FY 2006 request. The FY 2007 budget request makes bold investments to improve America’s energy security while protecting our environment, puts policies in place that foster continued economic growth, spurs scientific innovation and discovery, and addresses the threat of nuclear proliferation. These funds directly advance the goals of the Advanced Energy Initiative, which aims to break America’s dependence on foreign sources of energy; and the American Competitiveness Initiative, which encourages innovation to strengthen our nation’s ability to compete in the global economy - both announced in President Bush’s State of the Union Address on January 31, 2006.

You may be confused because you added the word, stimulus.

tonto, read Tom Friedman's column in the New York Times to day and get educated on the issue of solar funding. The 2007 energy bill passed in December failed to extend any stimulus for wind and solar energy production. You should see the graph in the current issue of Mother Jones magazine which shows that current funding for alternative energy research is about 1/4 what it was in 1979 just before Carter left office.
