Congressman Forbes discusses his new initiative to tackle energy dependence and rising gas prices on CNN's "Your Money". This bill challenges the United States to achieve 50 percent energy independence in 10 years and 100 percent energy independence in 20 years. To achieve this goal, the New Manhattan Project will bring together the best and brightest scientists in our nation in a competitive format to effectively research one of seven established energy goals the areas of alternative fuel vehicles, green buildings, solar power, biofuels, carbon sequestration, nuclear waste, and nuclear fusion and will award significant prizes to any group, school, team, or company who accomplishes each goal.
