The more traditional fuel sources we have relied on as a nation - coal, oil, and natural gas - I'm hoping they can allow us the financial springboard to move to the next generation of energy sources: renewables and alternatives.

I look at what we have - our traditional natural resource base - as helping move us to that cleaner, more diverse energy supply.

How we move forward with a level of R&D support that will be meaningful allows us to really build on and enhance our energy opportunities in this country.
