Posted by TylerPresident-Elect Barack Obama, and Vice President-Elect Joe Biden, have some major plans to change the reliance we have on foreign oil. As well as new renewable energy for example...
- Put 1 million Plug-In Hybrid cars - cars that can get up to 150 miles per gallon - on the road by 2015, cars that we will work to make sure are built here in America
- Ensure 10 percent of our electricity comes from renewable sources by 2012, and 25 percent by 2025.
- Implement an economy-wide cap-and-trade program to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 80 percent by 2025.
- Provide short-term relief to American families facing pain at the pump
- Help create five million new jobs by strategically investing $150 billion over the next ten years to catalyze private efforst to build a clean energy future.
- Within 10 years save more oil than we currently import from the Middle East and Venezuela combined.
- Barack Obama and Joe Biden: New energy for America
While most of Obama's plan is based on environmental safety "making U.S. leader in climate change", reducing independence on foreign oil, and creating fuel efficient cars... I'm sure if he looked at this blog he could find other sources... But on bullet 2 Obama mentions renewable energy. What exactly does he have in mind? Looking at the Obama Biden websight (link at bottom of blog) he outlines his plan for renewable energy, which includes "Clean Coal Energy" and "Safe and Secure Nuclear Energy"
Don't forget to watch the movie of former U.S. Secretary of Commerce, Robert Mosbacher Sr.
Here are some great sights explaining the possibilities these sources present.
Besides Nuclear Hydro-electric energy is resource capable of creating large amounts of electricity without forming harmful gases harming the ozone.
Obama's plan is, at least, a plan and in this time that's what we need.
