Comment on Barack Obama's New Energy Plan For America
Posted on August 27, 2008

The ignorance and rage reflected in these comments barely warrant response other than to say, they are wrong, one needs to look into what is being accomplished in the private sector before running off at the mouth and engaging in unnecessary name-calling, hasty generalizations and errors laced throughout rage-filled comments. Such wrath reveals exactly what keeps this country from achieving its highest potential. Luckily, forward thinking leaders in both the public and private sectors won't be disuaded by people like the nay-sayers who would rather hold us back and down than move ahead. Government can't and won't solve the energy problem alone, the consumers and private sector initiative will. Recall, the government had computers long before any individual lap tops but it wasn't until a little known individual (Gates) fulfilled a private sector initiative that we all reaped the benefits. People like Burt Gummer may be slow to get it but, the world continues to turn and with it so too do the minds, hearts and innovations of mankind.

Fact-- the technology exists TODAY to "harness" the sun and "gather" the winds to supply the energy we need to run our homes and cars while resting control of our energy from utility barons and placing it in the hands of the people. What a democratic notion. Read, for example, Re-Energizing America: A Common Sense Approach to Achieving U.S. Energy Independence in Our Generation (www.re-energizingamerica.com). FACT those heavily invested in oil prefer the average "joe" (or at least JDOE 113 -below) be left in the dark so their personal fortunes grow at our expense. Fact-- Its "freak[ing] moron[ic]" to try the same oil/gas based solutions to the problem and expect a different result. It is time to restore American ingenuity and innovation and Obama is just the guy to do it.
