"The Nation that Leads the Clean Energy Economy Will Lead the Global Economy... and America Must Be That Nation!"

“But to create more of these clean energy jobs, we need more production, more efficiency, more incentives. That means

building a new generation of safe, clean nuclear power plants

in this country. It means making tough decisions about

opening new offshore areas for oil and gas development.

It means continued investment in

advanced biofuels and clean coal technologies

. And yes, it means passing a comprehensive energy and climate bill with incentives that will finally make clean energy the profitable kind of energy in America.”


MEANWHILE.... ACROSS THE GLOBE FROM OUR HERO......


"China vaulted past competitors in Denmark, Germany, Spain and the United States last year to become

the world’s largest maker of wind turbines

, and is poised to expand even further this year.

China has also leapfrogged the West in the last two years to emerge as

the world’s largest manufacturer of solar panels.

And the country is pushing equally hard to build nuclear reactors and the most efficient types of coal power plants.

These efforts to

dominate

renewable energy technologies raise

the prospect

that the West may someday trade its dependence on oil

from the Mideast

for a reliance on solar panels, wind turbines and

"other gear"

manufactured in

CHINA."

gulp.... yeah.... gulp is right. gulp that down.
