Obama has a sensible approach to energy policy. It’s the central issue of our time. Our energy policy undercuts our foreign policy. Contrast with McCain and the gas tax holiday. Enough said.
Obama is proposing large, local (as in, ‘here in the US’) investments in energy research, infrastructure and green technologies. I support this 100% and believe it will spur the US economy in far more substantive ways than the Bush tax cuts.
Imagine a breakthrough in transportation technology, for example, followed by 5-10 year replacement of the vehicle fleet. The impacts on the broader US economy would be game-changing. Electricity and the grid is the way. Obama will get us there faster than McCain.
The credit mess is bigger than either candidate or party.
