his 100th day in office, saying that he was "not satisfied" with the

progress his administration has made thus far on renewable energy.]Renewable power is one of his signature energy proposals and he included

more than $40 billion in his $787-billion economic stimulus bill to expand

the energy resource in the US."I'm not satisfied and I know you're not either," he said in a town hall

event outside of St. Louis."We can't rest." Obama also told the audience that the US is "trapped by

our dangerous dependence on foreign oil" and that demands a response with

clean, domestic energy.The "only way to truly spark" that sort of energy innovation is a carbon

cap-and-trade system, he said."We can do this in a way that creates jobs," Obama said in the suburb of

Arnold, Missouri.Obama backs a carbon cap plan that would cut emissions 83% by 2050 in an

effort to curb the effects of climate change.For the latest stimulus jobs in your region please click here
