44, Day 93: Earthly Concerns
An ongoing log of the daily activities of the 44th president of the United States during his first 100 days:
-Marking Earth Day, President Obama traveled to Iowa to tout what he called a "beginning a new era of energy exploration." To do that, the president unveiled an initiative to lease federal waters as a way to generate electricity from ocean currents and the wind.
-Meanwhile, Vice President Biden declared that "every day is Earth Day" as he announced that $300 million in stimulus money will be earmarked for state and local efforts to expand the number of clean and sustainable vehicles on the roads.
-And on Capitol Hill, administration officials called for legislation to curb US greenhouse gas emissions. But they steered clear of telling lawmakers how it should be done.
