OUR THIRD GOAL IS TO PROMOTE
ENERGY INDEPENDENCE FOR OUR
COUNTRY WHILE DRAMATICALLY
IMPROVING THE ENVIRONMENT.
I HAVE SENT YOU A -- I HAVE
SENT YOU A COMPREHENSIVE ENERGY
PLAN TO PROMOTE ENERGY
EFFICIENCY AND CONSERVATION TO
DEVELOP CLEANER TECHNOLOGY AND
TO PRODUCE MORE ENERGY AT HOME.
I HAVE SENT YOU CLEAR SKIES
LEGISLATION THAT MANDATES A 70%
CUT IN AIR POLLUTION FROM POWER
PLANTS OVER THE NEXT 15 YEARS.
I HAVE SENT YOU A HEALTHY
FOREST INITIATIVE TO HELP
PREVENT THE CATASTROPHIC FIRES
THAT DEVASTATE COMMUNITIES,
KILL WILDLIFE, AND BURN AWAY
MILLIONS OF ACRES OF TREASURED
FORESTS.
I URGE YOU TO PASS THESE
MEASURES FOR THE GOOD OF BOTH
OUR ENVIRONMENT AND OUR ECONOMY.
EVEN MORE, I ASK YOU TO TAKE A
CRUCIAL STEP AND PROTECT OUR
ENVIRONMENT IN WAYS THAT
GENERATIONS BEFORE US COULD NOT
HAVE IMAGINED.
IN THIS CENTURY, THE GREATEST
ENVIRONMENTAL PROGRESS WILL
COME ABOUT NOT THROUGH ENDLESS
LAWSUITS OR COMMAND-AND-CONTROL
REGULATIONS, BUT THROUGH
TECHNOLOGY AND THROUGH
INNOVATION.
TONIGHT, I'M PROSING $1.2
BILLION IN RESEARCH FUND --
PROPOSING $1.2 BILLION IN
RESEARCH FUNDING, SO AMERICA
CAN LEAD THE WORLD IN CLEAN,
HYDROGEN-POWERED AUTOMOBILES.
A SIMPLE CHEMICAL REACTION
BETWEEN HYDROGEN AND OXYGEN
GENERATES ENERGY WHICH CAN BE
USED TO POWER A CAR PRODUCING
ONLY WATER, NOT EXHAUST FUMES.
WITH A NEW NATIONAL COMMITMENT,
OUR SCIENTISTS AND ENGINEERS
WILL OVERCOME OBSTACLES TO
TAKING THESE CARS FROM
LABORATORY TO SHOWROOM SO THAT
THE FIRST CAR DRIVEN BY A CHILD
BORN TODAY COULD BE POWERED BY
HYDROGEN AND POLLUTION-FREE.
JOIN ME IN THIS IMPORTANT
INNOVATION TO MAKE OUR AIR
SIGNIFICANTLY CLEANER AND OUR
COUNTRY MUCH LESS DEPENDENT ON
FOREIGN SOURCES OF ENERGY.
