Quote of the week from President Obama:
"Because our economic future depends on our leadership in the industries of the future, we are investing in basic applied research," said Obama in a speech on employment on Tuesday, Dec. 8. "We know the nation that leads in clean energy will be the nation that leads the world."
Can opponents of climate progress in the U.S. Congress really be so against clean energy? Often the answer is "no", I've found, though they tend to be motivated by economic and security concerns. I mean, how many Americans are really "Pro Oil-Dependence"?
As long as we can get to the solutions, there's nothing wrong with some people taking different paths to reach them.
There are many who are against renewable energies. Mostly all those who make big money with oil or coal. Or those who sell products that use that stuff like big car companies.
ReplyDeleteObama is right. This is THE technology of the future. Anyone who will be among the leading countries here will have big economic changes in the future. In 30 or 40 years people will wonder why we ever used something different. Of course by then it may be too late.
Let's hope that Copenhagen really changes something.
