Hm:

7.5% increase per year for basic research.
Teacher training, more graduate fellowships.

CO2 cap-and-trade.
Try lots of things on climate change.
Broad, fairly sensible energy policy. Includes nuclear.

Broad good noises on STEM and science teaching.
Same on bioterror and defence research.

No cooties over DNA. Increase stem cell research.

Oceans are nice.
Water is a state issue, sense not too touch that.

Revive NASC, cross-agency space policy.
Strengthen PCAST

Health is an issue.

Not bad.
