Alternative Energy
Obama is more sincere and coherant than Bush. He is right of course. Alternative energy is inevitable. Either we start soon or we pay more later.
We will use ethanol, bio-diesel, solar, wind and any other green source. We will also use nuclear power, ANWAR and off-shore drilling. We will use conservation, insulated homes, smaller cars, bicycles, public transport. We need to reorganize so we don't need to use so much energy.
Gov't can get in front of the parade or be run over. We can use research, tax breaks and subsidies. It will happen because it is an economic imperative.On That man's got a pair, you gotta give him that posted 3 years, 8 months ago 16 Responses
Barack Obama and alternative energy
Obama is certainly more coherent, sincere and committed than Bush in the use of alternative energy resources. I found his speech very reasonable.
I'd like to point out that no matter what the govt does or doesn't do, alternative energy is in our future. We will be using lots of wind, tidal and solar energy. Also, more energy-efficient technology. Also, tar sands, oil shale, coal gasification, nuclear energy, ANWAR and offshore drilling.
It's a good idea for the politicians to get out in front of the parade with research grants, tax advantages, policy changes and even subsidies. We are better off to move as fast as possible.
However, all these things will happen with or without support from Republicans or Democrats. We can't avoid the inevitable.On Back that grass up posted 3 years, 8 months ago 1 Response
