Barack Obama

XLIV President of the United States: 2009 - present

226 - Remarks on Energy

March 29, 2012

Thank you very much. Everybody, please have a seat. Sorry we're running just a little bit behind, but I figured it's a great day to enjoy the Rose Garden.

Today Members of Congress have a simple choice to make: They can stand with the big oil companies, or they can stand with the American people.

Right now the biggest oil companies are raking in record profits, profits that go up every time folks pull up into a gas station. But on top of these record profits, oil companies are also getting billions a year—billions a year in taxpayer subsidies—a subsidy that they've enjoyed year after year for the last century.

Think about that. It's like hitting the American people twice. You're already paying a premium at the pump right now. And on top of that, Congress, up until this point, has thought it was a good idea to send billions of dollars more in tax dollars to the oil industry.

It's not as if these companies can't stand on their own. Last year, the three biggest U.S. oil companies took home more than $80 billion in profits. Exxon pocketed nearly $4.7 million every hour. And when the price of oil goes up, prices at the pump go up and so do these companies' profits. In fact, one analysis shows that every time gas goes up by a penny, these companies usually pocket another $200 million in quarterly profits. Meanwhile, these companies pay a lower tax rate than most other companies on their investments, partly because we're giving them billions in tax giveaways every year.

Now, I want to make clear, we all know that drilling for oil has to be a key part of our overall energy strategy. We want U.S. oil companies to be doing well. We want them to succeed. That's why under my administration, we've opened up millions of acres of Federal lands and waters to oil and gas production. We've quadrupled the number of operating oil rigs to a record high. We've added enough oil and gas pipeline to circle the Earth and then some. And just yesterday we announced the next step for potential new oil and gas exploration in the Atlantic.

So the fact is, we're producing more oil right now than we have in 8 years, and we're importing less of it as well. For 2 years in a row, America has bought less oil from other countries than we produce here at home for the first time in over a decade.

So American oil is booming. The oil industry is doing just fine. With record profits and rising production, I'm not worried about the big oil companies. With high oil prices around the world, they've got more than enough incentive to produce even more oil. That's why I think it's time they got by without more help from taxpayers who are already having a tough enough time paying the bills and filling up their gas tank. And I think it's curious that some folks in Congress, who are the first to belittle investments in new sources of energy, are the ones that are fighting the hardest to maintain these giveaways for the oil companies.

Instead of taxpayer giveaways to an industry that's never been more profitable, we should be using that money to double down on investments in clean energy technologies that have never been more promising: investments in wind power and solar power and biofuels; investments in fuel-efficient cars and trucks and energy-efficient homes and buildings. That's the future. That's the only way we're going to break this cycle of high gas prices that happen year after year after year as the economy is growing. The only time you start seeing lower gas prices is when the economy is doing badly. That's not the kind of pattern that we want to be in. We want the economy doing well, and people to be able to afford their energy costs.

And keep in mind, we can't just drill our way out of this problem. As I said, oil production here in the United States is doing very well, and it's been doing well even as gas prices are going up. Well, the reason is because we use more than 20 percent of the world's oil but we only have 2 percent of the world's known oil reserves. And that means we could drill every drop of American oil tomorrow, but we'd still have to buy oil from other countries to make up the difference. We'd still have to depend on other countries to meet our energy needs. And because it's a world market, the fact that we're doing more here in the United States doesn't necessarily help us because even U.S. oil companies, they're selling that oil on a worldwide market. They're not keeping it just for us. And that means that if there's rising demand around the world, then the prices are going to go up.

That's not the future that I want for America. I don't want folks like these back here and the folks in front of me to have to pay more at the pump every time that there's some unrest in the Middle East and oil speculators get nervous about whether there's going to be enough supply. I don't want our kids to be held hostage to events on the other side of the world.

I want us to control our own destiny. I want us to forge our own future. And that's why, as long as I'm President, America is going to pursue an all-of-the-above energy strategy, which means we will continue developing our oil and gas resources in a robust and responsible way. But it also means that we're going to keep developing more advanced homegrown biofuels, the kinds that are already powering truck fleets across America.

We're going to keep investing in clean energy like the wind power and solar power that's already lighting thousands of homes and creating thousands of jobs. We're going to keep manufacturing more cars and trucks to get more miles to the gallon so that you can fill up once every 2 weeks instead of every week. We're going to keep building more homes and businesses that waste less energy so that you're in charge of your own energy bills.

We're going to do all of this by harnessing our most inexhaustible resource: American ingenuity and American imagination. That's what we need to keep going. That's what's at stake right now. That's the choice that we face. And that's the choice that's facing Congress today. They can either vote to spend billions of dollars more in oil subsidies that keep us trapped in the past, or they can vote to end these taxpayer subsidies that aren't needed to boost oil production so that we can invest in the future. It's that simple.

And as long as I'm President, I'm betting on the future. And as the people I've talked to around the country, including the people who are behind me here today, they put their faith in the future as well. That's what we do as Americans. That's who we are. We innovate. We discover. We seek new solutions to some of our biggest challenges. And ultimately, because we stick with it, we succeed. And I believe that we're going to do that again. Today the American people are going to be watching Congress to see if they have that same faith.

Thank you very much, everybody.

1000 Genomes Project data available on Amazon Cloud

Project is Exemplar of New White House Big Data Initiative

The world's largest set of data on human genetic variation — produced by the international 1000 Genomes Project — is now publicly available on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud, the National Institutes of Health and AWS jointly announced today.

The public-private collaboration demonstrates the kind of solutions that may emerge from the Big Data Research and Development Initiative announced today by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) during an event at the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Washington, D.C.

"The explosion of biomedical data has already significantly advanced our understanding of health and disease. Now we want to find new and better ways to make the most of these data to speed discovery, innovation and improvements in the nation’s health and economy," said NIH Director Francis S. Collins, M.D., Ph.D. Dr. Collins is among agency leaders speaking in support of the initiative at the launch event.

The Big Data initiative will initially engage at least six federal science agencies — including the NIH, the National Science Foundation, and the Department of Defense and the Department of Energy — committing more than $200 million to a collaborative effort to develop core technologies and other resources needed by researchers to manage and analyze enormous data sets.

Among the NIH components participating in the Big Data initiative are the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) and the NIH National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), a division of the National Library of Medicine. NHGRI played a lead role in organizing and funding the international 1000 Genomes Project. NCBI, along with the European Bioinformatics Institute External Web Site Policy, Hinxton, England, began making 1000 Genomes Project data freely available to researchers in 2008.

Since the project's launch, the data set has grown enormously: At 200 terabytes — the equivalent of 16 million file cabinets filled with text, or more than 30,000 standard DVDs — the current 1000 Genomes Project records are a prime example of big data that has become so massive that few researchers have the computing power to use them.

To help solve that problem, AWS has just posted the 1000 Genomes Project data for free as a public data set, providing a centralized repository on the Amazon Simple Storage Service. The data can be seamlessly accessed through services such as Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud and Amazon Elastic MapReduce, which provide organizations with the highly scalable resources needed to power big data and high performance computing applications often needed in research. Researchers pay only for the additional AWS resources they need to further process or analyze the data.

The public-private collaboration to store the data in the AWS cloud allows any researcher to access and analyze the data at a fraction of the cost it would take for their institution to acquire the needed internet bandwidth, data storage and analytical computing capacity.

"Improving access to data from this important project will accelerate the ability of researchers to understand human genetic variation and its contribution to health and disease," said NHGRI director Eric D. Green, M.D., Ph.D. NHGRI is a major funder of the 1000 Genomes Project, along with Wellcome Trust of London and BGI-Shenzhen of China.

Cloud access also enables users to analyze the data much more quickly, as it eliminates the time-consuming download of data and because users can run their analyses over many servers at once. "Putting the data in the cloud provides a tremendous opportunity for researchers around the world who want to study large-scale human genetic variation but lack the computer capability to do so," said Richard Durbin, Ph.D., co-director of the 1000 Genomes Project and joint head of human genetics at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, Hinxton, England.

Initiated in 2008, the 1000 Genomes Project is an international public-private consortium that aims to build the most detailed map of human genetic variation available, ultimately with data from the genomes of more than 2,600 people from 26 populations around the world. The project began with three pilot studies that assessed strategies for producing a catalog of genetic variants that are present at 1 percent or greater in the populations studied. Data from the pilot studies were released on AWS in 2010. The data now being released in the cloud include results from sequencing the DNA of some 1,700 people; the remaining 900 samples will be sequenced in 2012 and that data will be released to researchers as soon as possible. The new results identify genetic variation occurring in less than 1 percent of the study populations and which may make important genetic contributions to common diseases, such as cancer or diabetes.

"It took more than 10 years and billions of dollars to sequence the first human genome. Recent advances in genome sequencing technology have enabled researchers to tackle studies like the 1000 Genomes Project by collecting far more data faster. This has created a growing need for powerful and instantly available technology infrastructure to analyze that data," said Deepak Singh, Ph.D., principal product manager, Amazon Web Services. "We're excited to help scientists gain access to this important data set by making it available to anyone with access to the Internet. This means researchers and labs of all sizes and budgets have access to the complete 1,000 Genomes Project data and can immediately start analyzing and crunching the data without the investment it would normally require in hardware, facilities and personnel. Researchers can focus on advancing science, not obtaining the resources required for their research."

The 1000 Genomes Project welcomes working with other cloud computing providers who are interested in hosting the data. Cloud access to the 1000 Genomes Project data through AWS is at http://s3.amazonaws.com/1000genomes External Web Site Policy .

"Providing cloud access will expand the universe of researchers who have access to the data, which fulfills a central goal of the 1000 Genomes Project to make the data as widely available as possible to accelerate medical discoveries," said Paul Flicek, D.Sci., team leader for vertebrate genomics at EBI-Hinxton and co-leader of the 1000 Genomes Project Data Coordination Center (DCC). "Cloud availability will also enable other uses with constraints on computing power, such as for bioinformatics education."

The 1000 Genomes Project data are also freely available through the 1000 Genomes website, at www.1000genomes.org External Web Site Policy, and from each of the two institutions that work together as the project DCC: the NCBI at ftp://ftp-trace.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1000genomes, and EBI, with DCC support from the Wellcome Trust, at ftp://ftp.1000genomes.ebi.ac.uk. External Web Site Policy

The availability of 1000 Genomes Project data in the AWS cloud represents the fruition of a lengthy collaborative effort between NCBI and AWS, in which their joint expertise enabled the development of systems that would meet the unique needs of the science community in relation to sequence data.

"The resulting systems accommodate the types and sizes of files necessary for transferring, storing and accessing massive amounts of sequence data," said Stephen Sherry, Ph.D., chief of the NCBI reference collections section and co-leader of the 1000 Genomes Project DCC. "They also provide a framework that has allowed software providers to add tools that improve the scientific community’s ability to use these data to make discoveries."

In addition to funding data generating projects, NIH also funds many projects to develop new computational tools for analyzing genomic data. For example, NHGRI just provided approximately $1.5 million to fund the development of Galaxy External Web Site Policy, an open source software suite for data analysis in the life sciences developed at The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, Pa., and Emory University, Atlanta, into a community resource. Tools such as Galaxy may be uploaded into the AWS cloud to analyze 1000 Genomes Project data.

As part of the Big Data initiative, NIH will join with the National Science Foundation to fund the development of core technologies for data collection, management, analysis and extraction. NIH is particularly interested in imaging, molecular, cellular, electrophysiological, chemical, behavioral, epidemiological, clinical and other data sets related to health and disease. Participating NIH components include NHGRI, the National Cancer Institute, National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering, National Institute on Drug Abuse, National Institute of General Medical Sciences, National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, and National Library of Medicine.

"This timely initiative will generate tools and approaches for maximizing the return on our national investments in large-scale data collection," said Karin Remington, Ph.D., director of the Division of Biomedical Technology, Bioinformatics, and Computational Biology at NIH's National Institute of General Medical Sciences and co-chair of the initiative’s senior steering group. "It will also spur creation of the educational and infrastructure resources needed to enable broader use of such data, including in new areas of inquiry."

About the National Human Genome Research Institute: NHGRI is one of the 27 institutes and centers at the NIH, an agency of the Department of Health and Human Services. The NHGRI Division of Extramural Research supports grants for research and training and career development at sites nationwide.

About Amazon Web Services: Launched in 2006, Amazon Web Services (AWS) began exposing key infrastructure services to businesses in the form of web services — now widely known as cloud computing. The ultimate benefit of cloud computing, and AWS, is the ability to leverage a new business model and turn capital infrastructure expenses into variable costs. Businesses no longer need to plan and procure servers and other IT resources weeks or months in advance. Using AWS, businesses can take advantage of Amazon's expertise and economies of scale to access resources when their business needs them, delivering results faster and at a lower cost. Today, Amazon Web Services provides a highly reliable, scalable, low-cost infrastructure platform in the cloud that powers hundreds of thousands of enterprise, government and startup customers businesses in 190 countries around the world. AWS offers over 28 different services, including Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2), Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) and Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS). AWS services are available to customers from data center locations in the U.S., Brazil, Europe, Japan and Singapore.

An Action-Packed Summer Read -- Tom Clancy's Latest Storms The Shores

By Melinda Bargreen

Seattle Times Staff Critic

------------------------------- "Rainbox Six" by Tom Clancy Putnam, $27.95 -------------------------------

Rumblings in the distance are growing louder, as a phalanx of trucks approaches local bookstores. There is a diesel storm rising.

Tom Clancy is back.

Yes, fans, the latest humongous Clancy doorstop of a book - at 752 pages, a veritable Cortez Kennedy among action-thrillers - officially hits stores tomorrow. From there, it will undoubtedly commence liftoff for The New York Times' best-seller list and eventually a theater near you.

"Rainbow Six," a new techno-thriller about an elite international antiterrorist squad, has all the usual Clancy paraphernalia: action galore, taut plotting, state-of-the art weapons and heroic guys about whose safety the reader need entertain no serious fears.

The main hero here is John Clark, the ex-Navy SEAL who went ballistic in an earlier Clancy novel, "Without Remorse," and whom Clancy has called "the dark side" of his primary hero, Jack Ryan. (Ryan, of course, first surfaced in "The Hunt for Red October" and has since escalated into the most heroic American president since Lincoln).

Clark is quite a fellow, too. He has more decorations than the White House Christmas tree: Navy Cross, Silver Star with a repeat cluster, Bronze Star with Combat-V and three repeats, three Purple Hearts, et al. He's the hero of many covert international missions in which the Free World's bacon was definitively saved.

He may be pushing 60, but Clark can still run with the big dogs, and he still gets that dangerous look on his face that makes smart people not want to mess with him.

There are many stupid people in the world, however, and Clancy has a field day with a bunch of environmental extremists who are the chief (though not only) villains of "Rainbow Six." These wackos have concocted a biological blowout more deadly than anything Saddam Hussein could ever contrive, an apocalypse that will heal Mother Nature and get the buffaloes roaming again on the prairie.

The extremists of "the Project" first manifest themselves in a puzzling series of terrorist strikes, which conveniently begin just as Clark's tautly trained Rainbow squadron is ready for action. But why, they wonder, are they being called upon to counter such incidents as a hostage scenario at a Swiss bank, a high-level kidnapping at a German Schloss and a raid on a Spanish amusement park in which innocent children - two of them in wheelchairs - are held at gunpoint?

Could these incidents be related? That's the question John Clark ponders, but all Clancy fans know the answer: You bet your nuke-launching sub they're related.

The story opens with an attempted hijacking aboard the jet that's taking Clark and his teammates (and their families) to England, where the Rainbow organization is based. The terrorists certainly picked the wrong jet to hijack. The action almost never lets up - except when enviro-crazies prose on at boring length about their exceedingly unrealistic utopia - through hundreds of pages to the finale at the Sydney Olympics, where eco-Armageddon is supposed to strike.

Clancy's supporters often claim that his writing style has changed and developed over his 14 years of best-sellerdom. But let's face it: The style and structure of "Rainbow Six" isn't really all that different from "Red October." (There is, however, a sad dearth of submarines in this landlocked thriller, and that's a pity; nobody does subs with Clancy's level of swashbuckling glee.)

About the only thing that has changed is that there are many more ruminations on how little fun it is to get old, especially for an action guy. Clark is well into middle age, like his creator, and "Rainbow Six" is peppered with mordant observations about looking at "the next major milestone on his personal road to death (with) the number sixty on it."

Like a literary farmer of sorts, Clancy strolls his fields, scattering seeds here and there, and we watch the seedlings come up in a pattern that at first seems random. The action caroms, seemingly illogically, as Clancy introduces characters and subplots that continue to grow and grow, liberally fertilized by lines such as, "Looking at (the Rainbow warriors), John Clark saw Death before his eyes, and Death, here and now, was his to command."

Death, of course. But also millions of dollars in book sales. Here is your summer beach book, one that will not only weigh down your towel in a hurricane, but also provide hours of high-excitement reading and a few calluses from speed-flipping the pages.

Do we care that the protagonists are not masterpieces of psychological complexity, or that the few women characters are rudimentary objects designed to bear babies and get kidnapped? Frankly, we do not. This is Clancyland. This big dog makes his own rules.

CHAPTER 38

NATURE RESORT


"This can never see the light of day in a court. Besides, who's to say that you'll win the case? How hard will this be to cover up?"

"I can't evaluate that. We have two missing girls they probably murdered-more, if our friend Popov is right-and that's a crime, both federal and state, and, Jesus, this other conspiracy… that's why we have laws, Mr. Clark."

"Maybe so, but how fast do you see yourself driving out to this place in Kansas, whose location we don't know yet, with warrants to arrest one of the richest men in America?"

"It will take a little time," Sullivan admitted.

"A couple of weeks at least, just to assemble the case information," Special Agent Chatham said. "We'll need to talk with experts, to have that chlorine jar examined by the right people-and all the while the subjects will be working to destroy every bit of physical evidence. It won't be easy, but that's what we do in the Bureau, y'know?"

"I suppose," Clark said dubiously. "But there won't be much element of surprise here. They probably know we have this Gearing guy. From that they know what he can tell us."

"True," Sullivan conceded.

"We might have to try something else."

"What might that be?"

"I'm not sure," Clark admitted.

The videotaping was done in the Project's media center, where they'd hoped to produce nature tapes for those who survived the plague. The end of the Project as an operational entity hit its members hard. Kirk Maclean was especially downcast, but he acted his role well in explaining the morning rides that he, Serov, Hunnicutt, and Killgore had enjoyed. Then Dr. John Killgore told of how he'd found the horses, and then came Maclean's explanation of how the body was found, and the autopsy Killgore had personally performed, which had found the.44 bullet that had ended Foster Hunnicutt's life. With that done, the men joined the others in the lobby of the residence building, and a minibus ferried them to the waiting aircraft.

It would be a 3,500-mile flight to Manaus, they were told on boarding, about eight hours, an easy hop for the Gulfstream V. The lead aircraft was nearly empty, just the doctors Brightling, Bill Henriksen, and Steve Berg, lead scientist for the Shiva part of the Project. The aircraft lifted off at nine in the morning local time. Next stop,the Amazon Valley of central Brazil.
