Obama: Energy an essential part of economic recovery plan

OGJ:
" The president said, "Finally, this plan will begin to end the tyranny of oil in our time. After decades of dragging our feet, this plan will finally spark the creation of a clean energy industry that will create hundreds of thousands of jobs over the next few years, manufacturing wind turbines and solar cells for example, and millions more after that. These jobs and these investments will double our capacity to generate renewable electricity over the next few years."


Reducing oil consumption and/or improving the efficiency of oil usage is essential in getting the American economy back on the of growth and sustainability. However a significant reduction in consumption will require changes that will be painful and will cause resistance.

FP:
"President Obama's New Energy for America plan probably will lead to significant legislation to combat climate change; a bad dream for Canada's oil sands industry"
