OBAMA SINGS THE PRAISES OF CLEAN ENERGY

MAY 27th, 2010

The Grist blog reports one small ray of sunshine emrging from the gargantuan black cloud that is the BP oil spill. The spill is forcing politicians to confront the dangers of fossil fuels and look to cleaner alternatives. First Shwarzenegger withdrew his support for off-shore drilling outside California. Now Obama is connecting the Gulf spill with clean energy and saying ‘we’ve got to start cultivating solar and wind and biodiesel’. Hopefully as the American public begins to see first hand the devastation that is only just beginning to descend, there will be sufficient good-will to support the required investment in clean energy infrastructure.
