Invest in Clean Energy Transmission

Likewise --- info for the gird.

John, Jack et.al - here's the way we should be using these words:

Electric Transporation:
1) electrified transit systems inside beltways, AND
2) electrified transport ferry systems (eg., freight railways or like water ferries for freight, vehicles, and people, but on land, duh!) between major city beltways across the US and for sure along the busily traveled east, west, and gulf(?) coasts.

Grid Enabled "SYSTEMS":
1) Electric Grid and Electrifed Transportation (see above) Systems intertwined with the Interstate Highway System where we already own the right-of-ways and the GRID criscrosses the total US every 100-200 miles, thru every hinterland of solar and wind generation sites AND to every major city - already platted!

These are shovel ready jobs, existing technology, resources apleanty and which immediately TAKE THE OIL OUT OF TRANSPORTATION.

Three Things Obama Will Do to Advance Alternative Energy

Shotei - I overlooked the obvious within your own argument above, above: I guarantee you that we could not have gone to Mars, or the moon, nor google earth without SOLAR VOLTAICS.

frflyer - I agree that all the "greenie/polllution stuff" preceding some more valid points which you do make - is a turnoff. It's not unlike reminding many that we don't have enough worker/payers of tax and into Soc.Sec. to support the retired, because we killed many of those folks annually for the past 35 years, didn't stop it and in fact legalized it - and, of course, I'm talking about aborting unborns in or near the womb.

Chris B and Old Wizzard for President!!!!!

Three Things Obama Will Do to Advance Alternative Energy

CLH - myabe we should reexamine the necessity of going to Mars.

The rest is ostrich talk.

Shotei - your impossibilities are impossible, if not just plain incredible!

Shotie - you already get your electricity from 1000 miles away.

Three Things Obama Will Do to Advance Alternative Energy

I never realized I was so much Democrat and so litte Republican. Obama is going to unhook DC from Houston and connect what neither party of "LEADERSHIP" have really addressed since 1973. Leave the coal, oil, gas, shale, tar sands, etc., stored in the ground. (I do acknolwedge that we did leave more of our oil in the ground and used other nations oil, which was smart, but did not really fix our addiction).

PS - we had windmill power before we had REA's (1930's), and even before we had electricity; we had electric vehicles in the 1910's; we used solar heating since the Garden of Eden; and we had many "modern" applications of solar photovoltaics and fuel cells in the 1960's.

Progress!
