President Barack Obama says the country's dependence on fossil fuels jeopardizes national security, the economy and the environment....and must be ended. The president traveled to Pittsburgh this afternoon and spoke at Carnegie Mellon University... "An America that runs solely on fossil, fuels should not be the vision that we have for our children and grandchildren.

The president pledged to find the votes in Congress to pass a sweeping energy bill that is stuck in the Senate.
