President Barack Obama said the U.S. must be a leader in alternative energy innovation to ensure continued economic growth and national security and to confront the peril of climate change.
Obama, speaking Friday to students and faculty at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, said worldwide energy supplies are getting scarcer while demand continues to grow. He urged them to extend the U.S. legacy of innovation to meet that challenge and called on Congress to pass comprehensive energy legislation.
