on thursday, i went to penn state university whose students and researchers are poised to lead the wayenovation and job creation. they're taking up the challenge we've issued to scientists and engineers all across the country. if you assemble teams with the best minetteds in your field and focus on tackling the biggest obstacles to providing america with clean affordable energy we'll get behind your work. your government will support your research. the folks in pennsylvania have focused on designing billingding to save more energy, from lighting and windows to heating and cooling. this won't just cut down on energy pollution. it will save us billions on our energy bills. most of all, discovering new ways to make buildings energy efficient will lead to new jobs and new businesses. over the last two years we have seen a window manufacturer in maryland boost business by 55 percent. a lighting company in north carol na hired hundreds of workers. a manufacture saw business increase by $1 million. all we did is provide some tax credits and financing opportunities. that's what we want to do goi

i was traveling when i went to penn state took get some clean energy houses that were set up her i was with steve chu, my secretary of energy. he won -- he won a nobel prize in physics. you catch about one at a very four things he says in conversations. [laughter] but he started talking about energy efficiency and about refrigerators. he pointed out that the government set modest targets a couple of decades ago to increase efficiency over time. they were well thought through. they were not radical. companies competed to hit these markets and they hit them every time and exceeded them. a typical refrigerator cost half as much and uses 1/4 of the energy that it once did. and you don't have to defrost and puts that warm water inside the freezer and all that stuff. it saves families and businesses billions of dollars. regulations did not destroy the industry, it enhanced it. if they are smart and well designed. that is terrible, and to work with you to think through, how do we -- that is our goal. we want to get rid of regulations that have outlived their usefulness or do not work. the per

radical people like sean penn, colin farrell, radical people. >> reporter: who gave you the best piecece? >> they didn't give me advice. and within that, there's great advice. just love. you know? just to see -- it's oftentimes unknown. but when a giant marquee name comes on your phone -- winning. >> reporter: what do you use? >> i use a blender. i use a vacuum cleaner. i use household items? when was the last time i ingested or used drugs? >> reporter: yes. >> in aa, there's a stupid expression or term. i don't remember. >> reporter: a week ago? two weeks ago? >> it was a couple days before the suits rolled in and said change it. change everything. we're shutting you down. >> reporter: tell me about the last time you did drugs. >> the last time i took drugs, i probably took more than anybody could survive. >> reporter: what are we talking about? how much? >> i don't know, man. i was banging seven-gram rocks. and finishing them. because that's how i roll. i have one gear. one speed. it's go. >> reporter: how do you do that? >> i'm just me. i have a different heart. >> reporter: you don

host: next cl from annapolis, maryland, barbara, in the penn line. caller: morning. i have a question in regard to all the people demonstrating. most of them are young people, obviously. it has to do public creating jobs over there. obviously, they want a better life. can you kind of give us any idea of how they would build an economy? it is not that they have a lot of technology over there that theyre developing. the other comment i have is what do and you see the future role of the u.s. being in the middle east? guest: i think in terms of creating an economy, that varies from country to country. libya has one of the largest oil reserves in the world. it's a major exporter of oil. it only has 6 million people which is the population of new york city. it's not hard to see libya being able to create an economy that has enough bs for most young people. in each of the population -- in egypt a population is lger -- the population is larger. it would be more difficult to create jobs. it was not that the economy lacked money in libya. the money was being funneled into a ha

obama referred to his visit this week to penn state university where researchers are de psych more energy- efficient buildings. he also called for expanding high speed wireless internet access. >>> celebrations continue today in santa barbara. ahead of what would have been former president ronald reagan's 100th birthday, sarah palin paid tribute to the republican leader last night. she was the keynote speaker at a celebration at the reagan ranch. she praised reagan for bringing government under control but also criticized the current administration. >> if president reagan were alive today to see what is happening to his beloved state, the hills of the central valley would echo with his outrage. nationally, for many of us today, that outrage, that moment of outrage, came with the passage of obama care. >> former vice president dick cheney will be the keynote speaker tonight at a dinner in santa barbara. more ceremonies honoring reagan are scheduled for tomorrow, his actual birth date. >>> sarah palin is taking steps to protect her name. her lawyer has filed applications to trademark both h

vacaville, officers say it was around 3:00 this morning near penne adobe road. the cause of that crash remains under investigation. >>> just about an hour before that crash, in east palo alto, one man was killed and another seriously injured after their car overturned. witnesses say the driver appeared to be racing another car when he hit the sound wall and crashed on the university avenue on-ramp. >>> this morning's frigid forecast could impact your commute throughout the day. the highway patrol is warning drivers about black ice. last night officers showed ktvu it does not take much for black ice to form, usually it is a puddle on the road that hardens overnight, sometimes right where drivers are picking up speed. >> once it freezes, you know, there's not a whole lot you can do once you get on it. again, just try and maintain control as best you can, try and be calm. >> eventually you're going to come out of it if it's not a huge stretch and when you do, your tires are going to hook back up with the asphalt and you don't want to be riding the brakes. >> the hi

was an honor to have president obama visit the commonwealth and highlight the research being done at penn stalte on energy efficiency. i was hopeful the president would touch on the importance of domestic energy production, especially oil, coal and natural gas just as each is critical to any credible nrnl plan. unfortunately, i remain convinced that america lacks a comprehensive plan to end our reliance on foreign ail. in too many instance, this administration has undermined america's path to a comprehensive plan. this administration has imposed a moratorium on drilling in the gulf, placed huge portions of the continental shelf off limbs to oil pruck. these actions will not help cease america's dangerous reliance on foreign oil. our nation needs a low-cost energy supply for economic growth and curt. i hope my colleagues on both sides of the aisle will join me in that effort. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. will members in the aisle please take their personal conversations off the floor so we may hear the one-minutes of our colleagues. for what purp

[laughter] you start talking about energy efficiency and about refrigerators. he pointed out that the government set modest targets a couple of decades ago to start increasing efficiency over time. they were well thought through. they were not radical. companies competed to hit these markers. they hit them every time and then exceeded them. as a result, a typical fridge now costs half as much and uses a quarter of the energy it once did. and you do not have to defrost that stuff, putting the warm water in the freezer and all that stuff. it saves families and businesses billions of dollars. regulations did not destroy the industry. it enhanced it and made our lives better. if they are smart, if that are well designed. that is our goal, is to work with you to think through how we design necessary regulations in a sma
