Here's Obamas speech on renewable energy.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GtYAPkOKEP4


I found this on youtube about Obama's comittment for green renewable energy. He stated that US govt actually leases government land to big oil but the oil companies haven't drill there. He, if elected, would charge oil companies fees for that undrilled land and use that money for renewable energy. He stated that the technology for renewable energy is available now and that thousands of jobs can be created if investments are made now.

He call McCain's gas tax holiday a gimick. Saying that it would only amount to 30 cents a day for 90 days and that's if the oil companies don't adjust the prices. He cited McCain's votes against increasing gas mileage requirements for cars in the past as not decreasing America's addiction to oil. An addiction that would only make America beg for oil from dictatorships.

Obama calls McCain's 300 million prize for a new car battery another gimick that would only use private companies to solve the energy crisis. He said that Moon landing and many other space age innovations were accomplishments of America and not of a private company.

He further add that he would send another rebate stimulus plan to help American familes with energy bills.

And, that is a bad thing why? He is a Socialist. In that whole paragraph it is "boooo private enterprise, go strong central government!" That is not an American principle.

IMO The search for a renewable energy source should be on par with the space race or the race to develop a nuclear bomb!
It should be a regulated gov venture as it is IMO a national issue which affects us all, our economy, and our national security!

Nothing the gov't tries to run works out worth a dang. If you want something screwed up, just involve the gov't. If they cannot cure the problem, they will appoint a committee to redefine the problem and so on ad nauseum

Man-Made Global Warming is a hoax, a sham. Just like Al Gore seeks to get extremely wealthy off of it, so does Obama and his camp, who will be his Presidential advisors, who are VERY closely linked to the inefficent Ethanol Industry.

And, new reports as to why the Arctic Ice is melting. Interesting that the same isn't happening in the Antarctic, which has seen the largest buildup of ice?

There are VOLCANOES under the Arctic Ice Caps! And, since 1999 they have been erupting and causing large tremors to shake and break the Arctic Ice Cap apart.
