Energy





Energy, as you should know, is very important. The Obama-Biden Plan will attempt to create a temporary relief to Americans by lowering prices while other energy solutions are negotiated. They plan to eliminate many imports from the Middle East and Venezuela by 2020. To do this, they are going to increase fuel standards, put 1 million electric hybrid cars on streets by 2015. They are going to make a $7,000 tax credit for people who buy these hybrid plug-in cars. They are also going to lay down a law that makes oil companies use the acres upon acres of land they have, but don't use.
They are also going to try to create many new economy friendly jobs. They guarantee that 10% of the US's energy comes from renewable sources by 2012, and 25% 2025. They know that we can't just instantly break off from coal, but they suggest developing and using clean coal. They also want to work with the Canadian Government to build the Alaska Natural Gas Pipeline.
Their plan is to shrink our Greenhouse Gas Emissions by 80% before 2050. They want to make the United States a leading country of climate change.

One final inspirational video.
