The United States faces three urgent challenges and we believe that new energy technologies will play a strong role in helping address these challenges.

First, adopting new energy technologies will help stimulate the economy through increased demand for goods, services and jobs. Second, new energy technologies can limit global warming by rapidly “decarbonizing” our economy and providing a strong basis for the country's global competitiveness. Third, new energy technologies can help wean us from our dependence on imported oil.

Each of the challenges we are facing today is of great importance. While policy support will be needed to develop and finance most new energy technologies, we believe the cost of those policies can be minimized by coupling them with competitive private sector investments. NRG is ready to partner with the government and make investments that will aid in addressing our country's energy challenges.

NRG's development teams have completed or are currently under way with a variety of no and low carbon projects, all of which are poised to create substantial engineering and construction jobs over the next several years, while jump-starting critical reductions in our country's carbon dioxide (CO₂) and other air emissions, and decreasing our dependence on imported oil.
