Obamas Energy Policy seems to me to be do Nothing about Energy except Block any attempts to add more Energy to the Us Economy.
Do we want a Presadent who's Energy Policy is to BLOCK Energy ?

That wasn't the POINT of the article, you didn't miss it. The point is to look beyond the immediate. We HAVE to look beyond it and plan for the future, make strides that direction, rather than looking to pad our immediate pocketbook - or we will be in FAR worse shape down the road than we are now!
Texas and California are the top solar states (followed by Minnesota in 3rd! ;D) Nuclear would be GREAT - if we can find a way to dispose of the waste! Accidents might still happen - it can never be 100% safe - but if research was put in it could be resonably safe from the production standpoint... It is the disposal that makes me not jump on the nuclear bandwagon...
I am all for what that article talked about - research into new areas, heretofore undiscovered or untapped, as well as research into renewables.

www.barackobama.com/issues/energy/ On BioFuels the US Goverment Gives the BioFuel makers $1.00 a Gallon extra for them to Grow BioFuels because they are very expensive to make If they did not give them that $1.00 before the consumer pays for it They would be very little bio fuil made P.S. There is a BioFuel Plant right outside my Town Rail Road cars from all over the usa are going there heaped full of corn

Obama does not like Oil and that is the Democratic Liberal attitude
Yet we Need Oil
I went to a Restraunt the Plate Knife & Fork & Glass were plastic made from oil
The Table & Chair was Plastic made from Oil
The Floor was Plastic made from Oil
And it goes on and on
Oil is here to stay
Lets look at what life was like when there was no Oil
That was the Coverd Wagon days
They would Kill Wales in the Ocean for Wale Oil and they would use Wax for Candles
Most People had the clothes on thier backs and maybe one other outfit if they were well off
You walked or Rode a Horse or a Wagon pulled by a Horse or Cow
People worked from Sunup to Sundown for pennies a day
Women Slaved in the Kitchen/Garden etc
Kids were in the Fields hoeing and doing hard work or the family starved
No TV
No Radio
No Internet
No Nothing
No Ice Box/Fridge
No Indoor Plumbing (Out House)
Baths were Rare
No Oil = all that
People who hate Oil say we will Replace all the Stuff Oil makes and we use it for with somethine else
I ask what ?
Solar Cells are made from Plastic(Oil)
Wind Mills are made from Plastic (Oil)
Elec car Batteries are made from Plastic (Oil)
What is the replacement for Oil ?
That is the Question

No doubt oil is awesome - but it is also finite. So the question of what is the replacement for oil is VERY valid. Time to find the answer, preferably BEFORE we run short!
