Obama says now is the time to create an Energy Security Trust

President Barack Obama used his weekly address to discuss his desire to create an Energy Security Trust. The trust is an idea CEOs, retired generals and admirals proposed that would use oil and gas revenues from public lands to go toward research for developing new energy sources for our vehicles. President Obama first mentioned the security trust in his State of the Union address. He said creating ways for our vehicles to run on less oil and gas would not only help Americans save money but also make the United States less dependent on foreign oil. On top of that he said our country also must continue finding other methods of energy such as wind, solar and bio-fuels.
