The US has a National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL) whose budget has been raked every year since Carter nationalized it. It would make sense to fully fund the lab - for once, and network the other REL research activities creating a network much like AT&L's programs and DARPA. Not much thought needs to go into this because what they have on the drawing boards and on shelves can benefit the nation.
