Click here to see the Obama and Biden Energy Plan for US Investment and Job creation:

At 2007 Rates, in 10 years the US could install 10 x 5255 MW = 52,550 MW or 52 Gigawatt of Wind Power Capacity with off Peak power stored as Hydro Power.
-versus-
The Nuclear Industry's plan for 14 Plants to generate 28,800 MW or 28.8 Gigawatt at a cost of $188 Billion which includes $122 Billion of Public Taxpayer Loan guarantees, and Public Accident Liability over $10.9 Billion (Public liability is Included in Price-Anderson Act of 2005 Energy Bill estimated by Sandia Labs to cost up to $600 Billion).

We have forgotten that JOBS are the foundation to paying mortgages and buying goods.
Hundreds of Thousands of our troops have served in Iraq while Congress and the Senate fail often to promote industries which can provide Veterans jobs when they return home.

You want Jobs and a strong Economy? Then eliminate Tax Credits for Big Oil and increase Tax Credits for Renewable Energy.
We have the Best Wind, Solar, Geothermal, Hydro and Biofuel Resources in the World. Global Companies want to invest in developing and profiting from our Renewable Energy resources much like We invested in Middle East Oil.
We can create 2 Million Clean Energy jobs in just 2 years with a $100 Billion investment. Imagine how many $700 Billion would create (14 Million New Jobs?):
We can create 2 Million Clean Energy jobs in just 2 years with a $100 Billion investment. Imagine how many $700 Billion would create (14 Million New Jobs?):
Change the focus to Job Creation and Invest $100 Billion annually in Renewable Energy Investment Tax Credits. That alone can generate $700~800 Billion of new Investment into our Economy Annually, along with Millions of Jobs. In the long run it also frees us from sending Hundreds of Billions to the Middle East for Oil.

Failure to raise fuel efficiency standards has cost our auto industry tens of thousands of jobs and Billions of dollars in losses. Big Oil has corrupted government employees charged with providing oversight and collecting Royalties. They are stealing from the public at every level. High Oil prices have depressed nearly every aspect of our economy from Food to Manufacturing, from transportation to investing in new technologies.
We have the Best Wind, Solar, Geothermal, Hydro and Biofuel Resources in the World. Global Companies want to invest in developing and profiting from our Renewable Energy resources much like We invested in Middle East Oil.
--BUT--
Oil companies have corrupted both Republican Senators and Government employees charged with collecting Royalties and in doing so have been stealing from our Country, Families, and Troops. The Government Accounting Office (GAO) released the following report regarding Oil and Gas Royalties. Bottom line is Big Oil companies have been cheating the American Taxpayer in addition to corrupting government employees charged with providing oversight and collecting Royalties.

The Inflexibility of Royalty Rates to Changing Oil and Gas Prices Has Cost the Federal Government Billions of Dollars in Foregone Revenues. The GAO confirms; The Federal System for Collecting Oil and Gas Revenues Needs Comprehensive Reassessment. I recommend a 1/3 Split between Federal, State, and Oil Companies -or- better when contracted out for Global company bidding.

Unlike Oil, every dollar of PTC generates 8 dollars of investment, which would otherwise not exist. Given an 8 to 1 return in something that�s also improves the Security of our Country, and frees us from dependence on Middle Eastern Oil and borrowing money from China to pay for it, should not be a Partisan issue. Stop letting Big Oil companies dictate the future of America. Keep Jobs in America by expanding industries, educational, investment, and career opportunities for Americans.
How do you build a strong economy? The same way you did it before; invest in areas where you have a competitive advantage. We once had it in Auto, Steel, and machinery. We have it now in Wind and Solar natural resources. We don�t have to Drill for Black Gold, its right in front of us, Blowing across and Shining on our Faces.
