This week on BGOV’s Capital Impact show hosted by Allen Scott:

• Just a few years ago one would have considered the cloud a passing fad. Today there are millions of dollars to be made in cloud development. From software to programming based in the cloud, agencies have millions of dollars to spend. Bloomberg Government’s Senior Technology Analyst Afzal Bari has examined the latest round of exhibit 300’s for cloud computing opportunities and he discusses his findings on this weeks Capital Impact.
• The Energy Independence and Security Act, signed by President Bush in 2007 was intended to move the United States onto more energy independent footing. That coupled with an increase in production of clean renewable fuels were just a couple of the intended results of this act. Unfortunately six years later we’ve not quite hit the mark. Senior Enegry Analyst Rob Barnett examines the topic in his latest study: “Renewable Fuels Hit Blend Wall”.
