The Council recommends that:
- Congress establish and capitalize a $200 billion National Clean Energy Bank, modeled on the U.S. Export-Import Bank and Overseas Private Investment Corporation, to provide long-term financing for clean energy.
- Congress establish fifteen federally-sponsored, regional clean energy manufacturing centers.
- The U.S. Government provide federal financial investment to facilitate construction of the first two to three manufacturing plants for any new or significantly improved sustainable energy technology.
