Obama Pitches Federal Funds for Renewable Energy 
(The Denver Post)

President Barack Obama's goal of approving enough renewable-energy projects on federal lands to power 3 million homes may be the easy part — getting them built could be another story.

In his speech at Buckley Air Force Base in Aurora on Thursday, Obama repeated the goal he set in his State of the Union address — 10 gigawatts of renewable-energy generation on public land.

"Congress needs to act," Obama told about 400 invited guests gathered in a spare hangar. "They need to pass clean-energy tax credits."
