Clean technology expenditure

The most important aspect of this is that profits can be increased by either an increase in revenues or a decrease in expenses. Water treatment operations are by and large end-of-pipe treatment technologies, and hence from the standpoint industry applications that must treat water, the investments required increase expenditures and decrease profit. Municipal facilities view their roles differently, because their end-product is clean water which is saleable, plus they may have addon revenues when biosolids are developed and sold into local markets. There are different categories of revenues and expenses, and it is important to distinguish between them. 

Drying and cleaning of the harvested material uses the same technology, as above. Separation requires moderate expenditure compared to the fertile varieties, because of much higher purity of the harvested material (above 90%, frequently 95%). 

The Clean Energy Act of 2009 (S. 2776) was introduced by Senators Webb and Alexander to promote investment and development of clean energy technologies, including nuclear power and other resources. It would result in the expenditure of 20 billion over 20 years to fund a series of loan guarantees nuclear education and workforce training assistance research into nuclear reactor lifetime extension and the development of solar power, biofuels, and alternative power technologies.
