President Obama urges US Senate to pass clean energy bill
US President Barack Obama on Saturday urged the US Senate to pass his clean energy bill, arguing that the nation that manages to harness clean energy ``will be the nation that leads the 21st century global economy.''
Platts reported that, in an important procedural victory for US President Mr Obama and his Democratic allies in Congress, the US Senate has voted to advance a massive economic stimulus bill that would provide billions of dollars to modernize the electricity grid and to develop a host of cutting edge energy technologies.
