In a speech interrupted by two anti-war protesters, Clinton said a "virtual revolution" was needed in the US approach to energy. She proposed a package of tax and investment incentives designed to reduce foreign oil imports by nearly 8 million barrels a day in the next 20 years.
Clinton, who is seeking re-election in November to the US Senate from New York, said dependence on foreign oil threatened the economy and national security. "Our present system of energy is weakening our national security, hurting our pocketbooks, violating our common values and threatening our children's futures," Clinton said in a speech at the National Press Club.
With high gas prices and the large profits for oil companies creating a political uproar in Congress, Clinton proposed a temporary two-year fee on some oil company profits to help create a US$50 billion fund for energy research and innovation.
The goal would be the production of 20 percent of US electricity through clean, renewable sources like wind and solar power by 2020. The fund also would create tax incentives for developing more energy efficient vehicles, she said.
