"To Green or not to Green"

"Going green" means to pursue knowledge and practices that can lead to more environmentally friendly and ecologically responsible decisions and lifestyles, which can help protect the environment and sustain its natural resources for current and future generations.

On the Obama website, Obama plans within 10 years to save more oil than we currently import from the Middle East and Venezuela combined. Put 1 million Plug-In Hybrid cars that can get up to 150 miles per gallon, on the road by 2015, cars that we will work to make sure are built here in America. He wants to ensure that 10 percent of our electricity comes from renewable sources by 2012, and 25 percent by 2025. He also wants implement an economy-wide cap-and-trade program to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 80 percent by 2050. Under the Obama plan he wants to deploy the Cheapest, Cleanest, Fastest Energy Source. Weatherize One Million Homes Annually. This plan is going to develop and deploy clean coal technology, and prioritize the construction of the Alaska natural gas pipeline. Barack Obama and Joe Biden will make energy conservation a top priority and use their offices to communicate directly with the American people about the importance of reducing our energy consumption. Their agenda will provide the American people the tools they need to begin reducing their energy consumption and energy bills.
