Description Remarks on Designating the Solar Energy Research Institute as a National Laboratory
Script (SUGGESTED TRANSCRIPT OF AUDIO) welcome everybody here. And special thanks to Henson more national energy strategy is the more efficient use of energy resources. We must keep America on the cutting edge of new technologies like alternative fuels, electric cars, solar and geothermal energy, high speed rail, and advanced, even safer nuclear energy facilities. We must encourage environmentally responsible development of all US energy resources, including renewable energy. Renewable energy does reduce demand upon our other finite natural resources. It enhances our energy security. And clearly, it protects the environment, cost effective renewable energy tech NASS year, just how important this is to our national security. We don't have to wait for scientific breakthroughs. To capitalize on renewable energy technologies. We just need to translate our success in the lab into progress in the marketplace. And we must continue focused, industry driven r&d to realize the full potential of these technologies. In the last two years, we have increasing ethanol and methanol for our cars and trucks. It's easy to criticize, and complain that we're not doing enough in promoting renewable energy. We will leave that to others. Why We quietly here do the hard work which will make renewable energy technologies a reality in the marketplace. Much of this progress I call it and its important role in strengthening our energy future. I am pleased to announce the elevation of seri to the status of a national laboratory. Sorry, which will now be known as the National Renewable Energy Laboratory joins an elite group of our nation's finest scientific facilities. And this designation symbolizes our commitment to finding new ways to produce and use energy that is cleaner, more efficient and more sustainable.
