Clean energy isn’t pie in the sky – the Germans created 250,000 jobs in less time than it will take for John McCain and Big Oil to drill for oil offshore -- and bring it to market. Failing to invest in new energy means we will continue to fall behind in the competitive race for new jobs and manufacturing.That’s not the road to smart energy independence; it’s a backwards formula for more Exxon dependence. Ten years to wait for off-shore drilling to come to fruition or a plan that makes a difference in mere weeks? The answer seems obvious, to me. If Obama's plan makes enough sense that environmentalists from all walks of life and with many divergent causes support it, it will be the first time that they can agree on a direction. Now that's what I call progress.
