Green Plan Proposed to Obama

Twenty-nine of the country’s largest environmental advocacy groups sent a 391-page document to Obama’s transition team with hopes of pushing the green agenda to its top priority. The groups‘ proposal calls for the creation of a renewable energy sector, building weatherization, a retooled auto industry, investment in public transportation, and major improvements to the electrical grid. The consortium believes marrying the environment, energy, and the economy will be a measure strong enough to dig the country out of its deep, dark abyss. Let’s hope Obama leads the excavation.
