Energy, Science and the State of the Union

Wow! The President and Ex-Oilman is now pushing alternative energy and improved fuel efficiency, including "switch grass" as a source of ethanol. What is switch grass????

I think we should take advantage of this political gesture and try to get some initiatives off the ground. I'm not as sold on nuclear energy, people are claiming it is extremely safe, but I would like to read up more on this topic.

The same president who supports Intelligent Design, is skeptical of Global Warming, and opposes stem-cell research, wants increase funding for Science and Math education? Hmmmm.
