Obama pushing clean coal and green jobs
February 3, 2010 — Associated Press Online
By PHILIP ELLIOTT
WASHINGTON, Feb. 3, 2010 (AP Online delivered by Newstex) -- President Barack Obama is meeting with governors from coal-producing states, hoping to earn their support for a languishing energy bill and to bolster his image as a leader willing to work with Republicans as well as Democrats.
Obama planned to announce on Wednesday new steps to increase the role of biofuels in powering the nation and to release a report detailing how Washington could increase investments in green technologies, an administration official said. The president was also expected to discuss so-called clean coal technologies (OOTC:CCTC) , said the official, who spoke ahead of the announcement only on condition of anonymity.
"Well, you're not going to get any argument from me about the need to create clean energy jobs," Obama said Monday in a YouTube forum. "I think this is going to be the driver of our economy over the long term. And that's why we put in record amounts of money for solar and wind and biodiesel and all the other alternative clean energy sources that are out there."
