Washington Senator Brings Home the Bacon for Algae Research
U.S. Senator Patty Murray has included $2 million in the 2010 Energy and Water Development Appropriations bill for algae biofuel research at Washington State University.
However, I don’t know if Senator Murray views this as a good thing or not. Take a look at this quote:
This funding will support cutting-edge research that will create jobs and continue to position Washington state as a leader in the clean energy economy,” said Senator Patty Murray. “It provides a shot in the arm for Washington state biofuels research, and will help our country move toward cleaner and more efficient energy use.”
Shot in the arm? I’m guessing she’s referring to a medical shot but I’ve never heard the phrase “shot in the arm” in a positive light.
