At the California Institute of Technology, they're developing a way to turn sunlight and water into fuel for our cars. At Oak Ridge National Laboratory, they're using supercomputers to get a lot more power out of our nuclear facilities. With more research and incentives, we can break our dependence on oil with biofuels, and become the first country to have a million electric vehicles on the road by 2015.
We need to get behind this innovation. And to help pay for it, I'm asking Congress to eliminate the billions in taxpayer dollars we currently give to oil companies. I don't know if you've noticed, but they're doing just fine on their own. So instead of subsidizing yesterday's energy, let's invest in tomorrow's.
Now, clean energy breakthroughs will only translate into clean energy jobs if businesses know there will be a market for what they're selling. So tonight, I challenge you to join me in setting a new goal: By 2035, 80 percent of America's electricity will come from clean energy sources.

Under the project co-ordination of wind turbine manufacturer Gamesa, eleven Spanish companies and 22 research centres specialising in offshore wind energy technologies have combined their expertise to seek to develop a marine wind turbine with a capacity of an astounding 15 MW. This is 50% larger than the 10 MW offshore Sea Titan turbine currently on the drawing board at American Superconductor and 500% larger than the world’s largest 3 MW production wind turbines manufactured by Vestas and the other major turbine suppliers
