In an exclusive Earth Day interview with The Daily Beast, Secretary of Energy Steven Chu defends the Obama administration’s focus on offshore drilling, nuclear power, and big spending on technological innovation.
The first Earth Day was in 1970 and according to a report in The New York Times on April 21 of that year, the organizer’s “main manifesto” was “to make life better, not just bigger and faster, to provide real rather than rhetorical solutions.”
