President George W. Bush tours the Dupont Experimental Station in Wilmington, Del., Wednesday, Jan. 24, 2007. “I made the case last night to the American people that we have got to do something about our dependence on oil -- for two reasons,” said the President during his remarks at Hotel Du Pont after his tour. “One, dependence on oil provides an economic and national security risk, a problem that this country better start dealing with in a serious fashion now, before it becomes acute. And second, we've got to be wise stewards of the environment, and dependency on oil makes it harder to be wise stewards of the environment.” White House photo by Paul Morse
President George W. Bush talks about his energy initiatives at Hotel Du Pont in Wilmington, Del., Wednesday, Jan. 24, 2007. "American automobile companies, as well as foreign automobile companies competing for market share here in the United States, understand that's where the consumer mentality is evolving," said President Bush. "And they're beginning to spend their own money, as well as help from the federal government, to develop new batteries. It's going to be an exciting time, really, when you think about it, when you're able to drive the first 20 miles in a plug-in hybrid vehicle without one drop of gasoline, which makes the country less dependent on oil."
