Dr. Steven Chu's stance

Dr. Chu seems to take a stance that raising the price of gas will reduce the amount American consumers use there by leaving more gas for future generations. He also wants to raise the tax on gas to fund government research into alternative fuels and energy sources. He believes that efficient use of gas is the number one way to reduce our need for gas. Dr. Chu supports the idea of biofuels as the main long term solution to the gas dependency problem.


He is focusing on cleaning up nuclear waste that has contaminated some nuclear weapon plants, since the Cold War, nuclear weapon development, and basic sciences which is the main mission of the federal Department of Energy, which Dr. Chu is Head Secretary of.
