Obama and his Energy Team!

[TimberWolf]

Something strange or something suspect!

Obama energy team? Anyway been reading this? All the top dogs have been lined up for a push to get States AWAY from dependency on Oil.

Now call me "Mary dressed in drag", but surely this kind of indicates they either HAVE something already or are near bringing a replacement out? Why do I say this? Well in history of the states politics it has always been about Oil and securing energy requirements for the future. Having probably realised that they cant go against Russia, China, Iran, India and the rest - it would appear that they now have realised that they need another source.....fast!

With such a invention or product being a multi-trillion dollar business it wouldnt surprise me that within 5-8 years they bring something out that can challenge oil as we know it today.

As we know - the next nation to bring out a true energy replacement WILL be the ruling economy for the next 100+ years. So I guess it would make sense that America moves forward..?

Obama appears to be doing all the right things. He's just hired an ex-noble physics laureate. So they will be looking at energy solutions, as we should be doing. And I'm not referring to attending to minor issues such as global warming.

Consumption is growing at around 3% a year IIRC, so this would take a global effort or a technology breakthrough. Good luck there.

Consumption is going to drop (10% oil in US) and so will living standards, maybe this will help cut down waste.

Have you noticed how "global warming" has very quietly become "climate change" after it was pointed out that Mars is heating up too?

Funny that.

Agree - his team is actually impressive and for once you can actually see people who talk SENSE but were ignored by the previous.

Scarey that he is doing the right thing! Almost makes it unbeleiveable - hence why I beleive the real reason is obviously not relying on external Oil sources. Plus they know that if they do have SOMETHING it will be exported globally and WILL be worth Trillions.....I guess the Race just became more official to finding it or releasing it.
