that's what americans have done for over 200 years. reinvented ourselves. and to spur on more success stories like the allen brothers, we have begun to reinvent our energy policy. we're not just handing out money, we're issuing a challenge. we're telling america's scientists and engineers that if they assemble teams of the best minds in their fields and focus on the hardest problems in clean energy, we'll fund the apollo projects of our time. at the california institute of technology, they're developing a way to turn sunlight and water into fuel for our cars. at oakridge national laboratory, they're using supercomputers to get a lot more power out of our nuclear facilities. with more research and incentives, we can break our dependence on oil with biofuels and become the first country to have a million electric vehicles on the road by 2015.
