It's Wednesday, March 30th, and this is Market Fullery.

I'm Chris Hill and joining me in studio today from Million Dollar Portfolio, Ron Gross,

from Income Investor James Early, and from Motley Fool Asset Management, Bill Barker.

Guys, good to see it.

Good to see him Press.

Coming up, a new book from Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen is getting headlines,

but guys, first we will start with President Obama's speech on

energy earlier today he outlined his vision for America's energy policy

which included a goal of reducing US oil imports by one third by the year 2025.

James Early, I will start with you.

What was your reaction to the president's speech?

I guess a presidential speech is sort of like a rice cake like it you feel like you've eaten

something but there's really nothing to show for it in your stomach I felt I enjoyed the tone

but we didn't really get to hear any proposals and the whole point here is who pays

we would all like more clean energy, we would all like less dependence on, or almost all of us would like less dependence on foreign oil,

but these are either going to be paid for by taxpayers in a form of subsidies to these producers

of clean energy which we have already and we would just increase presumably or via rate

pairs like when we pay our electric bill if there's some sort of federal mandate that utilities buy a percent of their energy from green sources.

So bottom line, the two big wildcars here are going to be nuclear and a natural gas. Nuclear is something the

president continues to support which I'm proud of him for I think I think we

should not be reactionary based on Japan as a totally different set of

circumstances our nukes are dealing with here a lot safer
