Commerce Secretary Gary Locke Promotes Renewable Energy Export Opportunities at RETECH 2010

The following press release was published by the U.S. Department of Commerce on Feb. 5, 2010. It is reproduced in full below.

During last week’s State of the Union speech, the president announced a goal of doubling exports over the next five years to support 2 million jobs in America.

Yesterday, Locke detailed how the Export Initiative will help the country reach that goal – by providing more funding, more focus and more coordination to grow U.S. exports. The NEI represents the first time the United States will have a government-wide export-promotion strategy with focused attention from the president and his cabinet.
