President Obama has called for increased investments in clean-energy research, development, and deployment.

This budget helps reduce our reliance on oil by developing the next generation of home grown bio fuels and by accelerating electric vehicle research, development, and deployment.

President Obama has a plan for the United States to win the future by out-innovating, out-educating, and out-building the rest of the world, while at the same addressing the deficit.

I wonder whether some of these long-term subsidies for energy, whether big oil or big wind, might be better spent for energy research.

I think many of my Republican colleagues see energy research as an appropriate role for the Federal Government.

By working together, we can promote economic development and help many more tribes and villages seize the clean energy opportunity.

We think it played a very important part in actually helping not only, you know, innovative companies, but also established companies, in developing a new line of automobiles with advanced technology that get better mileage and are at high…

Investments in the science and research and the development of these things is going to be crucial to our economic prosperity going forward.

I think domestic production should be part of a coherent plan going forward in what we need to do with our transportation fuel.

The United States faces a choice today. Will we outcompete the rest of the world or will we fall behind?

Somehow we have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe.

The government does not need to pick favorites.
