"Obama has promised to spend $15 billion a year to help private industry develop clean energy technology and to institute a cap-and-trade system to reduce emissions 80 percent by 2050."
I'm not a fan of Obama, or any tax & spend democrat for that matter. But, I'm willing to put up with that in order to get a sane energy policy in place.
Besides, it's not like the Republicans have done us any favors these past 8 years...
