We all knew it had to happen. Sooner or later America was going to wake up, say enough is enough, cast off the yolk held in place by the oil men of government, and vote for a candidate that places ‘going green' as a top priority in their administration. That's what we get with Barack Obama
He was one of, if not the only candidate in this entire election that realized that going green is akin to Roosevelt's ‘New Deal', which was the policy that took us out of the depression by making jobs for the people in the 30's, that modernized our entire infrastructure, that truly began Americas journey into the 21st century.
John Kennedy had a similar dream, and he called it ‘The New Frontier'. His plan included legislating equal rights bills, affordable housing, urban renewal, trade expansion, and the dream of going to the moon within 10 years.
One almost wants to call what Obama is going to do as ‘A New Beginning.' First and foremost, he wants to create a green energy economy, and by opening up green technology and expanding it into the job market, that will, by his estimate alone, create 5 million jobs! That means America needs to once again take the lead in technological advances, get these ideas off the drawing boards, and get to work making them happen.
Obama advocates clean coal burning for electricity, he wants to get at least 1 million plug-in hybrids on the road by 2015 that get a minimum of 150 miles per gallon, and invest $150 billion dollars to go green over the next 10 years. He even wants to redo the electrical grid, and one of the main reasons for this is the anticipation of increased use of battery power for everyday transportation.
All of these innovations are unheard of throughout the rest of the world. Implementing all of these ideas and making jobs in the green sector like this will put America at the forefront of environmental technology, and the US will be the cleanest and greenest place on all this earth in which to live.
None of this is proven, of course, and no one can really say what the future might bring. But at that moment on Novemeber 5th, 2008, when Barack Obama became the President Elect of the United States of America, all of us My Green Clickers were able to, for maybe the first time ever, see a big green light in the sky.
It's a new beginning folks, and the best is yet to come! I can hardly wait!!
