<![CDATA[Grist - Comment Feed for Obama highlights efficiency in his network show]]> Grist Comment Feed en Comment #1 by amazingdrx http://www.grist.org/article/ill-use-companies-like-mckinstry-as-a-model-for-the-nation/ Thu, 30 Oct 2008 01:40:48 -0700 http://www.grist.org/article/ill-use-companies-like-mckinstry-as-a-model-for-the-nation/1 Incremental

The idea of reducing fossil fuel use incrementally over 20 years to zero depends first on the cheap and easy savings, efficiency.  Then the heavy investments in replacing actual fossil power generation, ICE vehicles, and combustion based heating can be delayed until further along in this economic recovery.

That incremental plan is a practical one.  Huge costly programs like building 45 new nukes?  Not so much.

Obama most likely understands how these policies would work.  It would be nice to see subsidy diversion directed to a per kwh payment for energy conservation with efficiency.

Including cogeneration and ground source heating/cooling and plugin hybrid vehicles.  These are all efficiency gaining systems.
