Abstract: The US Department of Energy launched a project in 2007 for supporting a technical report – “America’s Energy Future: Technology and Transformation”, which studied priority areas in energy development, strategic energy technology development, and related policies in the United States as well as evaluated the status, cost, barriers to implementation, and influences of the current technology and series of potential technologies in the next couple of decades. Based on summarization of the report, the article proposes ideas like planning new energy development by stages, establishing development strategies combining renewable energies and energy efficient technologies, and expediting the development of supporting policies and measures.
