At this moment in time, President Obama has wisely decided to bring the country and the world out of a global economic downturn in part by attacking the critical problem of global warming. By shifting the country to renewable, clean energy use, the US can be at the forefront of alternative energy technology while reducing carbon emissions and man-made pollution.

The plan can be achieved in part by supporting the auto industry through this economic downturn with incentives to produce more hybrid and electric vehicles. Oil man T. Boone Pickens has put forth a very thoughtful energy plan and should be required reading on Earth Day [Pickens Plan]. In addition, the Big 3 automakers in the US should have a plan for building transportation for the 21st century in exchange for their government check.
