Murkowski Questions Deputy Secretary of Energy Nominee David Turk on the Title 17 Loan Program
The Energy Act provided new flexibility, eligibility expansion, and transparency for the Title 17 loan program, which will allow DOE to finance large-scale projects and distribute funds through state-level entities to finance smaller projects. During an Energy and Natural Resources Committee hearing to consider the nomination of David M. Turk to be Deputy Secretary of Energy, Senator Murkowski questioned Mr. Turk on his commitment to supporting projects in Alaska, like the Makushin geothermal project, and others that will generate clean and affordable energy while reducing carbon emissions.
