To keep our economy growing, we also need reliable supplies of affordable, environmentally responsible energy. Nearly four years ago, I submitted a comprehensive energy strategy that encourages conservation, alternative sources, a modernized electricity grid, and more production here at home, including safe, clean nuclear energy. My Clear Skies legislation will cut power plant pollution and improve the health of our citizens. And my budget provides strong funding for leading-edge technology--from hydrogen-fueled cars, to clean coal, to renewable sources such as ethanol. Four years of debate is enough--I urge Congress to pass legislation that makes America more secure and less dependent on foreign energy.
