Interesting SOTU.

"Let's continue that progress with a smarter tax policy that stops giving
$4 billion a year to fossil fuel industries that don't need it so we can
invest more in fuels of the future that do. ("
I suppose you could call Solar power a fuel of the future. Still, this
with the shoutout to the high tech hub established in North Carolina where
Obama was touring the area with the Energy Secretary. I wonder if they
had time to talk with Darden or if Darden timed the PR to coincide with
Obama's visit.
Interesting coincidences nonetheless.
