Below are President Obama's remarks regarding transportation in last night's State of the Union Address.
"Now we’ve
got to accelerate the transition away from dirty energy. Rather than
subsidize the past, we should invest in the future — especially in
communities that rely on fossil fuels. That’s why I’m going to push to
change the way we manage our oil and coal resources, so that they better
reflect the costs they impose on taxpayers and our planet. That way, we
put money back into those communities and put tens of thousands of
Americans to work building a 21st century transportation system."
"None
of this will happen overnight, and yes, there are plenty of entrenched
interests who want to protect the status quo. But the jobs we’ll create,
the money we’ll save, and the planet we’ll preserve — that’s the kind
of future our kids and grandkids deserve."
