"To reach this goal, we must increase the supply of alternative fuels, by setting a mandatory Fuels Standard to require 35 billion gallons of renewable and alternative fuels in 2017 – this is nearly five times the current target. At the same time, we need to reform and modernize fuel economy standards for cars the way we did for light trucks – and conserve up to eight and a half billion more gallons of gasoline by 2017."

"Achieving these ambitious goals will dramatically reduce our dependence on foreign oil, but will not eliminate it. So as we continue to diversify our fuel supply, we must also step up domestic oil production in environmentally sensitive ways. And to further protect America against severe disruptions to our oil supply, I ask Congress to double the current capacity of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve." /applause/
Right now - and he didn't discuss this in the speech - the idea as I understand it is to make health insurance benefits over $15,000 a year paid for by an employer a taxable benefit, while offering this tax deduction.
The goal isn't to "raise taxes" - the goal is to get people to buy their insurance on the private market. The whole present system was set up to incent people into giant insurance pools, which raises costs and, ultimately, would make the implementation of socialized medicine a lot easier.
No taxes period!
