This R&D provides resources on President Obama’s proposal for a Energy Security Trust Fund which would use taxes generated from oil and gas production and/or consumption to supply $2 billion for renewable energy research over the next ten years.  This is viewed by the President as a way to combat America’s dependence on foreign oil and uses the model of the current gas tax that pays for upgrades in infrastructure.
