Response 10: Barack Obama and Joe Biden: New Energy for America

I think there is no question in saying that Obama has ambitious plans for the next couple of decades. However, if he could ever accomplish a half of what he is promising, this country would be a much more powerful, and improved nation. I think it is so great that he is starting his campaign for green energy by example. Converting all the White House staff, residents, and anyone else having to do with the White House's cars into hybrids is a great idea to kick it off. It seems like Obama is doing what should have been done many, many years ago: creating jobs in America to manufacture our products. Shipping goods oversees to be manufactured and them assembled just doesn't add up. I would like to learn more about Obama's plans to make the gas companies pay up for the absurd profits they gained over their inflation this past year. I would also like to find out if the money given back to citizens is to be used towards gas purchases or whether its just a refund. Obama seems like he is offering many tax credits or refunds for people willing to invest in green energy systems. I hope all these actions are implemented sooner rather than later as they are promised. If so, we may be taking a giant step towards being a competitor in the sustainable energy market today.
