weekly radio used to warn manufacturers that dependence on foreign oil will lead to higher gas prices
President Barack Obama warned on Saturday that American cars and trucks must be weaned off oil forever if drivers must avoid spikes in gas prices.
promote a funding boost of 200 million years of research into clean fuel cars, the president used his weekly radio address to reaffirm his faith in an "all-of-the-above "strategy the United States if it is to become self-sufficient in energy.
The decision comes amid growing pressure on Obama environmentalists disappointed by the apparent lack of action during his first term in the White House and furious at the idea of ??a green light to the controversial Keystone XL pipeline.
- part of the solution to the need to reduce America's dependence on foreign oil, Obama fleshed out further details on the creation of an energy security fund, which direct oil revenues and gas development on clean energy research.
- The plan was drawn by the President during a visit to the research laboratories Argonne near Chicago on Friday. Attacked by some as an inadequate response to the needs of the fight against climate change, Obama defended the decision as a cost-neutral proposal that will benefit the public.
"The only way we are going to break this cycle gas prices for good training is to change our cars and trucks excluding oil forever."
