for obama on many issues..

Getting a "REAL" energy plan that even bypasses natural gas, is possible, he just doesnt' consider it because of the lobbyists for natural gas.

WWF did a study that by 2050 we could be completely solar, geothermal and other 'truly natural' energy sources..

nobody cares in Government. they are all short term, next election cycle focused. no long term planning ever happens in any presidency.
