What's Obama's plan to be energy dependent in ten years?

Question

Did he say how he's going to do it? Maybe I missed it.

Answer 1

Ge doesn't have to actually do it,

It's an election campaign, he just has to say he's going to do it,

Answer 2

Your question answered it, energy dependent always with Obama.

Answer 3

he didnt said it ; maybe his plan is , to boost automotive industry to build a small , efficient and boost on an agricultural site to ( corn ) , for renewable fuel :)

Answer 4

He has no specifics. He says we will depend on renewable energy but does not say how. Since wind and solar are the only renewable energy currently, I would guess that is what he talking about.  He has talked about policing our tire pressure, our tune ups and how high we set our thermostats but nothing else. then there is the cap and trade which does not do a thing for energy but will tax the c**p out of successful nations.

Answer 5

None.  Nothing.  Nada.  It cannot be done.  Photovoltaic cells are inefficient.  Unless there is a quantum leap in the technology as well as wind generation, it simply isn't going to happen.

Answer 6

It can be done!  

We will all be living in grass huts and cooking on cow patties.  

Answer 7

?  He never said, just words, coming from an empty, inexperienced, unpatriotic, lying racist.  LOL!  Of course, should he be elected, he won't be around in 10 years anyway.  Then, he will turn around and say, "Don't blame me.  I didn't vote for my replacement to be a Republican."  Follow his music and you will be led into poverty by his tax programs.  Google The Global Poverty Act, which Obama supports.  There is an old saying that goes, "Nothing is free in life."  He plans on taking your tax money, and then giving it to Africa, mainly, followed by other third world countries.  Obama is a Marxist and a globalist and wants all countries on the same level.  He does not put America first and that is an under statement.

Someone has written:

"It seems the FEDERAL Land Management had refused to issue land use permits to Solar Energy Producers under the Bush Administration for some time:"  Excuse me, but the Bush Administration is composed of a Democratic Congress, which means they are opposed because they are environmentalists.  Bush cannot get anything past this worthless Congress.  God only knows, they just took a six week vacation to escape voting on drilling.   It is not Bush, it is the Democrats.  Obama has lied, saying that he would consider alternative energy solutions, but he will change his mind once he gets in.  

Get rid of the Democratic Congress and we will have all alternative energy solutions, including drilling, which both McCain and Palin are pro.

Answer 8

He has talked about his energy policy many times before, that was just the first time he's made a ten-year promise.

He plans to pretty much use any alternate form of energy the nation has to power the country.  That, of course, will require pumping more money into alternate energy R&D.  Many jobs will also be created during R&D, production, construction, and operation of these alternate energy sources.

Further development of clean-coal, solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, some nuclear, and some domestic oil drilling to supplement what the U.S. won't be able to cover after we sever our ties to foreign oil.

Unfortunately, the media seems to have ADD when it comes to covering the politicians long enough to allow people to hear about their issues.

Wow!  TD's for just the facts?  I didn't even say who I was voting for...

Answer 9

His plan was to raise taxes on gasoline, thus further increasing the burden on the average American.

What does he want to use this money for? Obviously not drilling for new sources of oil, offshore. He instead proposes to use the national oil reserves, which are a limited amount of oil, to be used only in emergencies. How will he replace this oil, when it runs out?

His foreign policies, which are directly connected to the oil supply, almost guarantee that Iran will get its nukes,and better missile systems, as Ahjermanedad laughs at this fool and signs his silly papers. 40% of the world's oil supply sails past Iran every day. How bad would that be, when it is cut off?

Oh, so you have an electric car? Where will the electricity come from? America only produces enough electricity for less than half it's needs.

That means that through hydro power, nuclear power, and all other "clean' sources, you will likely have no power for your trendy little car.

Idiot Barry has no answer to John McCain;'s 30 nuclear power plants. He instead proposed a search for alternate energy (McCain will do that too).

So what is Idiot Barry's energy plan? Evidently nothing.

Answer 10

No he didn't. Alot of the stuff he promised would never get passed.

If he does get elected he'll just be a lame duck..h**l even his tax plan would have to PASS....You can promise something without being sure you can;t push it through...

God help us if there's an emergency.

Answer 12

Bottle hot air from his vague speeches to inflate everyone's tires.  

Answer 13

You mean "INDEPENDENT" since we are currently dependent. It seems the FEDERAL Land Management had refused to issue land use permits to Solar Energy Producers under the Bush Administration for some time:

Lifts Moratorium on New Solar Projects

By DAN FROSCH

Published: July 3, 2008, New York Times

http://www. nytimes. com/2008/07/03/us/03solar. html?ref=us

DENVER — Under increasing public pressure over its decision to temporarily halt all new solar development on public land, the Bureau of Land Management said Wednesday that it was lifting the freeze, barely a month after it was put into effect.

The bureau had announced on May 29 that it was no longer processing new applications to build solar power plants on land it oversees in six Western states after federal officials said they needed first to study the environmental effects of solar energy, a process that would take two years.

But amid concerns from the solar power industry, members of Congress and the general public that the freeze would stymie solar development during a particularly critical time for energy policy, the bureau abruptly reconsidered.

“We heard the concerns expressed during the scoping period about waiting to consider new applications, and we are taking action,” the bureau’s director, James Caswell, said in a statement. “By continuing to accept and process new applications for solar energy projects, we will aggressively help meet growing interest in renewable energy sources, while ensuring environmental protections.”

In the meantime, the bureau will continue with its plans to conduct a sweeping study on the environmental impacts of large-scale solar development on public land in Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico and Utah, said a spokeswoman, Celia Boddington.

Since 2005, the bureau has received more than 130 applications from private companies to build plants in those states, where large amounts of sun-scorched land make for prime solar real estate. Those proposals cover more than a million acres and have the potential to power 20 million homes.

The bureau will process all of the applications it received before the freeze, and now, as a result of Wednesday’s decision, will continue to accept new ones, studying the environmental effects of each proposed plant individually, Ms. Boddington said.

Solar energy advocates, who had lobbied against the freeze at public meetings that are being held by the bureau throughout the West, were pleased with the decision.

“We’re encouraged that the B.L.M. lifted their moratorium, but we’re only halfway there,” said Rhone Resch, president of the Solar Energy Industries Association. “We now need to get them to expedite the permitting of the solar projects on public land.”

Mr. Resch said the decision was important given that while the bureau managed to approve a considerable number of oil and gas leases on public land, it “had yet to lease a single acre of land to the solar industry.”

Political opposition to the freeze was also a factor in the turnaround, and Ms. Boddington noted that there was “significant Congressional interest in the issue.”

On Tuesday, Representative Mark Udall, Democrat of Colorado, wrote a letter to Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne, urging the government to continue processing new applications.

In response to the bureau’s change of course, Mr. Udall said in a statement, “This decision sends the right message to the renewable-energy industry that we are committed to working with them to reduce our reliance on foreign oil and increase our energy independence in an environmentally sound way.”
