MILWAUKEE — To create an energy independent nation, Americans need to decrease their reliance on oil and Congress must offer incentives to help companies expand their research and development programs, President Bush said Monday.

"In order to to seize this moment, this country has got to be technologically-advanced," Bush said at Milwaukee-based auto-parts supplier Johnson Controls Building Efficiency Business. "Technology is really important for the future of this country. ... We have a chance to transform the way we power our economy, and the way we lead our lives."

Bush toured the car-battery factory before traveling to Michigan later on Monday to visit a solar-power panel factory. The stops are part of a three-state, two-day trip to promote alternative fuels in a package of energy-saving initiatives. The stops at companies dedicated to energy efficiency are aimed at garnering support for the Advanced Energy Initiative the president offered in his State of the Union address last month.

Members of Bush’s Cabinet also planned visits nationwide to promote the president’s plan.
