Ondanks de grote aandacht voor Bush' oorlogszuchtigheid, vestig ik toch even de aandacht op de passage over het milieu in zijn State of the Union. Hierin besteedde hij speciaal aandacht aan de ontwikkeling van
de pollutievrije wagen op waterstof(gas).
Een klein zoektochtje in Google, 'auto's op waterstof hydrogen', levert al gelijk een aantal interessante links en vertelt mij dat velen de doorbraak hiervan voorzien rond 2010.
"The environment
Our third goal is to promote energy independence for our country, while dramatically improving the environment.
In this century, the greatest environmental progress will come about, not through endless lawsuits or command and control regulations, but through technology and innovation
I have sent you a comprehensive energy plan to promote energy efficiency and conservation, to develop cleaner technology, and to produce more energy at home.
I have sent you Clear Skies legislation that mandates a 70% cut in air pollution from power plants over the next 15 years.
I have sent you a Healthy Forests Initiative, to help prevent the catastrophic fires that devastate communities, kill wildlife, and burn away millions of acres of treasured forest.
I urge you to pass these measures, for the good of both our environment and our economy.
Even more, I ask you to take a crucial step, and protect our environment in ways that generations before us could not have imagined.
In this century, the greatest environmental progress will come about, not through endless lawsuits or command and control regulations, but through technology and innovation.
Tonight I am proposing $1.2bn in research funding so that America can lead the world in developing clean, hydrogen-powered automobiles.
A simple chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen generates energy, which can be used to power a car - producing only water, not exhaust fumes.
With a new national commitment, our scientists and engineers will overcome obstacles to taking these cars from laboratory to showroom - so that the first car driven by a child born today could be powered by hydrogen, and pollution-free.
Join me in this important innovation - to make our air significantly cleaner, and our country much less dependent on foreign sources of energy."
