Obama swung by a wind-turbine Plant to talk about Energy, reducing US oil imports and getting clean Energy on Wednesday afternoon. This coincides with Obama’s announcement for re-election. Luckily, Philadelphia is producing a whole-lot of green-energy jobs as part of Obama’s energy initiatives. But as we saw from his State of the Union Address, he needs to step up his actions and talk less about the changes.
“These are not your father’s windmills,” Obama told about 400 workers and guests, with a wind-turbine hub and gear box looming behind him. “You guys are not messing around. This is the future of American energy.
Of course the Tea Party representative, Don Adams pushed for more drilling and spending less money… By my $3.65/gallon gas price I just filled up with, I’m sure using more of a limited resource will be a great answer in the long term. (sarcasm for those of you who didn’t pick up on that.)
