U.S. needs to develop every energy source: Obama

WASHINGTON, March 15 (Xinhua) -- The United States needs to develop every kind of energy source - not only oil and gas, but also wind, solar and biofuels, U.S. President Barack Obama said on Thursday, defending his energy strategy. Wilson Tennis Racket

Under his Administration, the U.S. is producing more oil currently than at any time in the last eight years, Obama said at Prince George's Community College in Maryland.

He noted that America's energy security had enhanced greatly since he took office, with dependence on foreign oil in 2010 dropping below 50 percent for the first time in 13 years.

Recently, Republican presidential candidates criticized the Obama administration for having "no fix" to gas prices spike, arguing that the country needs a massive increase in oil drilling to bring down high gas prices.Wilson Tennis Racquets

Trying to re-energize the campaign, candidate Newt Gingrich once asserted that if becoming president he could drive gas prices as low as 2 dollars a gallon.Wilson Blx

But Obama reiterated that there is no "silver bullet". "What we need now is an all-of-the-above strategy for the 21st century that develops every source of American-made energy."

"That's the future. That's where I want to take this country," the president added.Prince Tennis Racket

Obama also attributed the strengthened energy security to his energy strategy that had nearly doubled the use of clean, renewable energy in the country.Head Tennis Racket

In addition, Obama urged the Congress to end subsidies to the oil industry. "It's time for this oil industry giveaway to end."Babolat Tennis Racket

Iran, as a long-standing friend to India, has made considerable progress in all sectors and is a promising country which India hopes to boost ties with, said Alvi.Head Tennis Racket

Reciprocal flow of investments will enhance bilateral trade and the outcome will also boost the political relationship between the two friendly nations, he added.Prince Tennis Racket

The global financial crisis has shown that there was no choice but to strengthen regional cooperation to minimize the impact, the report quoted him as saying.Wilson Blx

Head of Iran's Chamber of Commerce, Industries and Mines, Mohammad Nahavandian, said on Saturday that the Indian economy provides a good opportunity for Iran to cooperate and interact with the country.Wilson Tennis Racquets

Iran sells to India some 13 billion U.S. dollars worth of oil annually but only imports about 2.5 billion U.S. dollars worth of goods from India. Refusing to join the West-sponsored sanctions against the Islamic republic over its controversial nuclear program, India has an opportunity to increase its exports to Iran in the absence of Iran's former economic partners.
