Couldnt get the full accounting accounting. The 300 billion doesnt include come under budget how much is going into that basic research to find the basis for the major Mental Illness . Roughly 50 spirit what is your total budget . 1. 45. 12 are going to hiv. By the way, my state has ever had per capita incidence of hiv and my Patient Population a disproportionate number of hiv. I am absolutely where of the nature of the issue of hiv but it does seem, if we have too few dollars going to the Brain Initiative and youve got roughly 800 million going to something that basic research or something which is costing us at least 300 billion, probably far more, as important as the it seems like we should be throwing everything we have an understanding that basic sort of science regarding that. The 12 where does that come from . I mean i guess my priority, when i go back and look and we are spending 19,000 per death on hiv, ma ive a sense we probably spending probably 2000 her death on major Menta
Demonstrating technologies in transparent manners. So that means in some sort of public manner, whether its through the work of the National Labs. We have the work of National Labs across the country that are part of the department of energy. Whether its through public, private partnerships and many of which are referenced and surveyed in the study or through academic work, but in order for policymakers to rely on science and Technology Demonstration in policy making, that work is going to have to be done in a transparent manner that the public can have confidence in. I think you will see quite a few of the recommendations in the study have that in mind and we very much look forward in identifying ways that the department of energy can be part of that continued resource and that demonstration. The many will ask why the arctic, why now outside of this leadership imperative when we have such a tremendous abundance of domestic oil and gas in the lower 48, and the simple answer to that que
Multiagency strategy for understanding and working to develop the science to mitigate the impacts of Unconventional Oil and natural Gas Production and this is with our office and usgs and epa and like wise you see the l recommendations that are pointed to doe. And this report really points back to that role for the arctic as well. In one way the way i think about the work of our office is were the office of science for federal and state regular lay to rs. We were in alaska last week and i can tell you state regulators in alaska are very much focused on these questions and understanding what the science says in an unbiased and neutral manner about this activity can proceed. And those are the same questions that our partners are asking at other federal agencies, and were the the office that they turned to understand what the center of the science understands. And its a vital role that Government Research plays and providing policymakers with an unbiased view of science, technology, and i
