Cuts proposed by Republicans in the budget for energy-efficiency programs may push production overseas. President Barack Obama?s administration has set a goal of doubling electricity from clean-energy sources such as wind and solar power by 2035. The president wants to advance research to put 1 million electric vehicles on U.S. roads by 2015. House Republicans have proposed reducing the budget for the department?s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy to $1.3 billion for 2012, compared with a White House recommendation for $3.2 billion, according to documents from the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology.
