Obama..goals or big dreams?

Question

On Obama's website, to which I provided the link below, there are a list of several "goals" that Barack will meet before the end of his presidency. These are things he claims to achieve and will require. Has anyone read the energy goals he has claimed he will meet?

How does he plan to reach these goals?!? They are absurd and seemingly impossible to reach. Maybe I'm missing something and someone else can provide some insight.

Here are the two that really caught my attention:

1. Put 1 million plug- in hybrid cars that get up to 150 miles per gallon on the road by 2015 and make sure they are built in america.

2. Ensure that 10% of our electricity comes from renewable resources by 2012 and 25% by 2025.

Take the first goal. First, he will have to actually convince Ford, Chevy, Lincoln, Mercury, Dodge..all of which are not exactly known for high MPG cars..to create and mass produce a car which gets 150 miles per gallon by 2015. Not only that, he will have to convince 1 million americans to buy this car..which probably will not be cheap. So how does Obama plan to do this?

Second, the goal for 10% of our energy to come from renewable resources sounds great. It even sounds almost realistic until you take a closer view at it. This goal might be simple if Obama wasn't weary of nuclear energy. He has stated before that he distrusts Nevada's Yucca Mountain for storage of radioactive waste. We cannot create energy through nuclear power if we don't have anywhere to store the waste by product.

Just a little food for thought. Maybe one of you can come up with an alternative that I didn't see.

Are these goals or dreams?!?!

Answer 1

Without big dreams , there could be no great president. Can Obama also deliver ? Without any doubt. He is much stronger spiritually, mentally and physically than McCain. McCain looks like an ant next to a giant Obama.

Answer 2

He's dreaming! And he's full of BS too!

Answer 3

I wouldn't count on him to have any realistic answers to the energy crisis because he still hasn't admitted that corn ethanol is a huge mistake. He just wants to increase it.

Answer 4

I don't think they are seriously meant as goals or dreams. They are just the empty rhetoric he uses to pander to the vote of the far-left in this country. Obama will say anything. All of these stated "goals" are just so much nonsense.
