An energy breakthrough?

There’s a report that the president made a comment today about the energy situation that caught my eye (CNN.com - Bush fuels case for alternative power - Feb 20, 2006):

“Our nation is on the threshold of new energy technology that I think will startle the American people,” Bush said.

“We’re on the edge of some amazing breakthroughs — breakthroughs all aimed at enhancing our national security and our economic security and the quality of life of the folks who live here in the United States.”

I hope this means something real, and not just some pipe dream. I wonder if there’s going to be some interesting announcement in the near future. If there is, I wonder what it will be about (solar, nuclear, oil, table top fusion, zero-point energy, etc.)

Hopefully something real and attainable in a decent amount of time.

The Stop Global Warming Virtual March is a non-partisan effort to bring all Americans together in one place to prove that global warming is here now… and, it is time for us to do something about it.

One person can change the world. Over 275,000 people have already joined. Imagine what millions of marchers can do! Together we will be heard.
Join the March Now!

It’s easy! There is every reason in the world to become a virtual marcher. Why? Because it affects our public health, our national security, our economy, our planet’s future.

On Earth Day 2006, the March will arrive in Washington, DC and use the strength of our numbers to urge 1) Our government to join the rest of the world in addressing global warming, and 2) American business to start a new industrial revolution on clean energy products that reduce our dependence on oil and other global warming pollution.
