CHANGE - the best word on the planet.

America has spoken, the word is CHANGE, the man is OBAMA, and the colors are Red White Blue and GREEN. The practical reality however is quite another thing, and the details matter more than ever now… but thankfully the momentum and leadership seems to be ready willing and oh wait a sec here … able to talk way out into the future. 2015? 2020? 2025? WHAT?

There is no question that the time is NOW, not 2015.

Fortunately, there is some Hope that if we all speak loudly we will finally be heard, but this voice is not unified enough at all. California just voted DOWN proposition 10 to rebate real $$$ for alternative energy car purchases. Green Energy stocks are not climbling like crazy when they should be… No doubt, things are ready for a change and that progress is far slower than watching grass grow. We are better than that, and we know it.

Obama-Biden comprehensive  New Energy for America plan:

• 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 efforts to build a clean energy future.
• Within 10 years save more oil than we currently import from the Middle East and Venezuela combined.
• 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 2050.

Create Millions of New Green Jobs

• Ensure 10 percent of Our Electricity Comes from Renewable Sources by 2012, and 25 percent by 2025.
• Deploy the Cheapest, Cleanest, Fastest Energy Source — Energy Efficiency.Obama and Biden will set an aggressive energy efficiency goal — to reduce electricity demand 15 percent from projected levels by 2020.
• Weatherize One Million Homes Annually.Obama and Biden will make a national commitment to weatherize at least one million low-income homes each year for the next decade, which can reduce energy usage across the economy and help moderate energy prices for all.
• Develop and Deploy Clean Coal Technology.Obama’s Department of Energy will enter into public private partnerships to develop five “first-of-a-kind” commercial scale coal-fired plants with clean carbon capture and sequestration technology.
• Prioritize the Construction of the Alaska Natural Gas Pipeline.As president, Obama will work with stakeholders to facilitate construction of the pipeline. Not only is this pipeline critical to our energy security, it will create thousands of new jobs.

( in my opinion … 2015 type talk is too out there.. things can and should be on a much closer horizon, what is your opinion - the Comment Area is now open… )
