President Obama today will urge Congress to establish a research fund for transportation and fuel alternatives, called an Energy Security Trust, according to White House officials.
The president will tour and give remarks at Argonne National Laboratory just outside of Chicago, a Department of Energy facility for scientific research that specializes in advanced battery production. He will propose setting aside $2 billion over the next 10 years for an Energy Security Trust, which aims to support research and development for electric vehicles, domestic biofuels, fuel cells and U.S.-produced natural gas.

more slush to benefit his donors and lackies who set up sham companies like Solyndra
disgusting
Energy Security Trust = boondoggle
An alternative president proposal would be better.
One that has a president with a measurable IQ.
Anyone in electronics understands the HUGE loop that has to be accomplished with any advancement in battery technology. I attended a battery seminar some years ago and the one thing the speaker said that stuck was, “every battery technology is still less than the lead acid battery”.
dept. of flatulence
That is the basic problem of renewables, a lack of reliable storage.
His dream..
Cold fusion driven automobiles.:^)
Another one of his ideas...
Solar powered cars.
He just extends Daylight Saving Time a few more hours and sunlight can power the cars 24/7.
Which political donors and Unions is he funneling more Taxpayer confiscations to next?
Set aside 2 billion? A closed White House over $18,000 a week
and he can find 2 billion to not spend? I do believe almost one billion has been spent on his Solar Boondoggles already
leaving a 6 million dollar mess to cleaned up by taxpayers now. Got to hand it to the guy, he actually believes he has done well with his green energy, and still has pps that believe him also!
You left out the wind powered cars.
Finally, a way out of our economic “down turn”. Or was it a “turn around”? Or did we just turn the corner. Any way you look at it, this country is still in trouble. Despite what hussein has to say.
Maybe we could build sloop-rigged rail cars.
How about a solar-powered Air Force One? Give it a try, Dumbo.
