Free Energy Economy Step 1 Achieved!
Well, after the historical political night on Tuesday, the Alternative Energy Economy, took one giant step closer to becoming a reality.
Eager industry watchers are expecting a full $150 billion in alternative energy commitments from the Obama administration. That will be spread out over the next decade, and measures to put money in the right hands are already underway as part of the transition process.
As of November 6, Politico.com reports that Obama is considering the creation of a new Energy Security Council at the executive level.
Now throw in a very sick economy and more and more job less everyday, and you will see action taken by the government to create new jobs. In what industry will those jobs be created in?
Renewable Energy.
8 billion was invested in the renewable energy sector last year. Hold on to your pants for the coming years!
Inaction has been the rule in the White House, and the competitive balance now favors other countries like Germany and Denmark, where renewables have become a national priority and point of pride.
There is an exception in the US, and it comes from the state whose economy is stronger than many small countries; California. Governor Schwarzenegger has been very proactive in making sure that California is ahead of the curve when it comes to being ‘green’.
Schwarzenegger had been cast as a likely pick for John McCain’s would-be cabinet, but knowing Barack Obama’s penchant for surrounding himself with experienced bipartisan leaders, the Governator could find himself in a Democratic government as Secretary of Energy. No joke.
By once again, the time is NOW to take action and be PROactive as a society. The actions taken by the people, just as they did for the Presidential election, will be the ONLY way real change will take place in the alternative energy arena her in the US.
