Obama and Chu have very similar thoughts when it comes to energy. When it comes to the idea of renewable energy they both agree that the world should start using this cleaner and more efficient energy sources. Obama has a plan that by 2012, 10% of our electricity will be form renewable sources. And, by 2025, he wants 25% of electricity from renewable sources. Obama actually wants to start wind farms on the ocean shores to get more energy from them. Steven Chu wants to start using solar power more than any other renewable source. He wants to start using solar paint to put on the new buildings. When it comes to nonrenewable energy sources they both agree that we should start reducing the amounts used, and also reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Steven Chu wants to reduce the use of coal and turn it into a liquid because it is cleaner.
For drilling for fuel in Alaska, it was voted against.
And for hybrid cars, they both want to start using them more often. Steven Chu wants the cars to go 40 miles a charge at least.
These are the main ideas on the energy situation from Obama and Steven Chu.
