Obama: End dependence on fossil fuels
June 2, 2010 The president said: "An America that runs solely on fossil
fuels should not be the vision we have for our children and
grandchildren."
Obama spoke to an audience in Pittsburgh Wednesday as the broken
oil well in the Gulf of Mexico continued to spew oil unchecked.
He called for rolling back billions of dollars in oil company
tax breaks and using the money on clean-energy technologies. And
Obama pledged to find the votes for Congress to pass a sweeping
energy bill that's stuck in the Senate.
The president said that without a major change in energy policy
America will continue to send money overseas for fuel.
