Obama sweats it : Why his big economic gamble is failing?
uploaded by CynicalPatriot
Obama believes he has found the answer to the US unemployment problem yep it clean energy. "Creating new jobs locally to clean up US polution". Solar, wind and wave power and the family electric car in a brave new world.
Historically, partnerships in science and technology have often been the leading edge of diplomacy – and that is certainly true with China. More than 30 years ago, the very first agreement we signed after normalizing relations was on science and technology. We’re building on a very strong foundation, and I believe our work will facilitate cooperation in other areas.
But this partnership will also have a direct benefit to our economy. We have committed to co-develop technologies that will create jobs locally in both countries. As technologies are piloted in China on carbon sequestration, for example, we can apply that experience in the United States.
The race for the clean energy jobs of the future is on, and China is moving quickly. Unless the United States takes bold action, we’ll get left behind. That not only means partnering with China where we can, but also passing comprehensive energy and climate legislation that will create a system of clean energy incentives in the United States.

It is the way out of recession. It will be over when we have solar power, an energy grid and a generation of young people who grow up with different values. In the last depression, horses, outhouses and kerosene lamps were replaced with autos, electric lights, electric appliances, houses and telephones before it was over. In the 1960's, the youth were buying VW's Minis' and other small cars. The wore Levies as a protest against polyester (a petroeum product) and because they were made of cotton. The youth was ready to start the change but the old white guys in power could only see change as a threat to their pocket book. Meanwhile the other nations made small cars and worked toward the new future while the US did nothing. The US is now fourty years behind, and will it hard to catch up. BYD will be the major car coumpany in the world. Europe will be the leaders in Wind power. Dubi will be a major financial center. It is becoming the destination for the wealthy with the largest Shopping mall in the world, the largest theme park in the world and a year arround ski resort. And probably the most luxurious airline. Thank heaven we have the Grand Canyon.
