Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) unveiled a detailed\u00a0campaign proposal<\/a><\/strong> to eliminate up to $50,000 in student loans for households making $100,000 a year or less, and to provide partial loan forgiveness for households earning between $100,000 and $250,000. Warren would also implement universal free public college to help students avoid borrowing, significantly increase the size of Pell grants for low-income students, and invest in minority-serving institutions. Her plan is more specific than her rivals, but many Democratic candidates have come out in favor of debt-free or tuition-free plans.<\/p>\n See their plans<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) applied energy offices have recently released three solicitations worth over $200 million in funding The first is the\u00a0Bioenergy Technologies Office<\/strong><\/a> (BETO) program for high-priority research with biofuel technologies. The Advanced Building Construction with Energy Efficient Technologies and Practices<\/a><\/strong> program is seeking research for buildings that will reduce energy consumption and relieve stress on the electrical grid.
