Obama and Gore v Inertia

Popular Logistics is not a political blog. We focus on Policy – Energy Policy, Health Care Policy, Emergency Management Policy. We heard a lot of good ideas in President Obama’s speech Tuesday night – Sustained Growth; Shared Prosperity. We agree on Solar and Wind – we need to substantially increase our clean energy infrastructure.  However, we respectfully disagree on coal. It is not clean. The technology does not yet exist to economically sequester carbon, and Moore’s Law will not apply. We know we can meet Gore’s Challenge – Clean and Green by 2018, and we know that would be good for America and the world.  And we believe that Rush Limbaugh, who said “I hope Obama fails” is unpatriotic, and in fact, guilty of treason.

  • 225 GW of Wind Capacity – $2,43 per watt – $546.75 billion
  • 75 gw Solar $6.5 per watt = $487.50 billion
  • 300 GW of capacity = $1.03 trillion

This is good for the economy, and good for the planet.
