Today, Chuck Swoboda, CEO of Cree, a manufacturer of LED products, joined President Obama at the White House to discuss the latest developments in energy-efficient technologies. Swoboda and seven other CEOs representing American companies were invited to meet with President Obama to discuss American innovation in areas such as clean energy and the potential benefits to the U.S. economy.
After the meeting, the President said: “I just had a meeting with the CEOs of some of the most innovative energy companies in America to talk about growth and progress of a sector that represents a big piece of America’s economic future. It’s men and women like these who will help lead us out of this recession and into a better future. My job–and our job as a government–is to do whatever we can to unleash the great generative powers of the American economy by encouraging their efforts. And when you hear the innovation that’s taking place–everything from LED lighting that can save a huge amount on energy costs to new concrete materials … That gets you excited about the future.”
