clipped from abcnews.go.com President Barack Obama says the country must develop cleaner energy technologies while at the same time still relying upon traditional power sources like nuclear and coal. Obama said America will continue to "need some of the old traditional energy sources as we're developing these new ones, ramping them up." He said ways must be found to increase oil and natural gas production and that America has "to take a both-end approach, rather than an either-or approach" to energy policy.
