"I would like to thank the President-in-Office for his very detailed answer. I would have some dispute with you with regard to thermo-nuclear fusion being an alternative energy source, because it already exists. However, there are three reasons why I ask this question.
Firstly, in the State of the Union address that President George Bush gave in January of this year, he committed, and the Congress approved some time afterwards, USD 7.8 billion to be put aside over the next ten years for research into hydrogen cell-fuelled automobiles. The road map that they set out is that by the year 2025 the first cars will be in mass production, and that by 2035 they will be in widespread use across the US.
My second reason is, as we have seen in the recent past with the conflict in Iraq, the instability with regard to the price of oil, and the effect that it can have on the economies here in Europe that are so dependent on fossil fuels. Third is the question of our commitments to Kyoto and to a clean fuel technology, using wind, water, air and solar energy. Other alternatives can be looked at and a special fund set up to keep us up to speed with what is happening in America in that regard. Those are the reasons for my question."@en1
