这是我们那一代人创造的“伴侣号”走在世界前沿的时刻。我在两年前说过,我们需要将研发拓展到自太空竞赛高峰后再也没有出现过的新层次上。我将在未来几周内向国会提交一份预算案,它将帮助我们实现这一目标。我们将投资于生物医药研究、信息技术,尤其是清洁能源技术,这一投资将会强化我们的安全、保护我们的地球、为我们的人民创造无数新就业岗位。
Already, we are seeing the promise of renewable energy. Robert and Gary Allen are brothers who run a small Michigan roofing company. After September 11th, they volunteered their best roofers to help repair the Pentagon. But half of their factory went unused, and the recession hit them hard.
我们已看到了可再生能源的潜力。罗伯特·阿伦和加里·阿伦是一对在密歇根州经营屋顶公司的兄弟。他们在“9·11”恐怖袭击事件后志愿派出他们最好的装修屋顶员工来帮助维修五角大楼,但是他们工厂的半个厂区没有开工,经济衰退重创了他们的工厂。
Today, with the help of a government loan, that empty space is being used to manufacture solar shingles that are being sold all across the country. In Robert’s words, “We reinvented ourselves.”
今天,在政府贷款的帮助下,空闲的厂房被用于制造销往全球各地的太阳能电池板。用罗伯特的话说:“我们再造了自己。”
That’s what Americans have done for over two hundred years: reinvented ourselves. And to spur on more success stories like the Allen Brothers, we’ve begun to reinvent our energy policy. We’re not just handing out money. We’re issuing a challenge. We’re telling America’s scientists and engineers that if they assemble teams of the best minds in their fields, and focus on the hardest problems in clean energy, we’ll fund the Apollo Projects of our time.
这就是美国人在过去两百多年里一直在做的事情,再造自我。为了推动更多像阿伦兄弟这样的成功故事,我们已开始再造我们的能源政策。我们将不只提供款项,我们还将提供挑战。我们将告诉美国的科学家和工程师,如果他们组建他们领域最好的科学家小组,致力解决清洁能源最困难问题,我们将向我们时代的 “阿波罗项目”提供资金支持。
At the California Institute of Technology, they’re developing a way to turn sunlight and water into fuel for our cars. At Oak Ridge National Laboratory, they’re using supercomputers to get a lot more power out of our nuclear facilities. With more research and incentives, we can break our dependence on oil with biofuels, and become the first country to have 1 million electric vehicles on the road by 2015.
在加州理工学院,科学家正在寻找一种将太阳光和水转换成汽车燃料的方法。在橡树岭国家实验室,科学家们正在通过超级计算机以使从我们的核设施获得更多能量。在进行更多的研究和激励措施后,我们可以用生物燃料来打破我们对石油的依赖,成为在2015年前首个拥有一百万电动汽车上路的国家。
We need to get behind this innovation. And to help pay for it, I’m asking Congress to eliminate the billions in taxpayer dollars we currently give to oil companies. I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but they’re doing just fine on their own. So instead of subsidizing yesterday’s energy, let’s invest in tomorrow’s.
我们需要找到创新背后的要素。为了向创新提供经费支持,我将请求国会取消向石油公司所提供的数十亿美元税款补贴。我不知道你是否注意到这一情况,但石油公司自身运营得很不错。所以,与其向昨天的能源业提供补贴,我们不如投资于未来的能源。
Now, clean energy breakthroughs will only translate into clean energy jobs if businesses know there will be a market for what they’re selling. So tonight, I challenge you to join me in setting a new goal: by 2035, 80% of America’s electricity will come from clean energy sources. Some folks want wind and solar. Others want nuclear, clean coal, and natural gas. To meet this goal, we will need them all – and I urge Democrats and Republicans to work together to make it happen.
现在,清洁能源领域的技术突破只有在业界知道有销售市场的情况下才会转变成清洁能源业的工作岗位。所以,今晚,我想让你们和我一起来制订一个新目标:争取在2035年之前使美国85%的电力供应量来自清洁能源。一些人想要风力和太阳能,其它人想要核电、清洁煤炭和天然气。为了实现这一目标,我们将需要所有这些清洁能源。我呼吁民主党人和共和党人通过合作来实现这一目标。
