This is another major wonderful reason to go use renewable energy sources – Each country has more than enough of it's own latent energy sitting there waiting to be captured as electricity.

Every country has wind and sun, Not every country has coal or oil. The less we depend on oil as countries, the less 'Foreign policy' would have to be developed and the wars, sanctions and disputes that happen now over oil, natural gas, and coal would not need to occur.

Liam.

1. We all what not just more jobs but better paying jobs.
2. We all want energy independence.
3. We need to fix our Medicare, medical and social security.
all in a one shot plan for both sides.

Dems and Reps agree to open and drill for more oil with a revote to
continue drilling in 10years.
We built warships in record months and oil rigs can be done as well.

The US oil & gas is the taxpayers, don’t let the energy companies take
full profits. Put a 2, 7 or 9% profit per barrel force to go towards
alternate energy projects, and I mean the ones that work all ready.

Building Energy Infrastructures’** High speed rails to over lay or next
to existing RR tracks for close metro to metro cities, most the airports
and sea ports are already have tracks in place.

Let the RR & Airline companies invests in them also with the Government
project. This creates good paying jobs. This also declines trucking
goods from sea ports to close metro areas. Declines airline fuels
Example: Atlanta to Augusta [air 3hrs, check in to check out] [car
2.5hrs] but high speed rail projects can take about 1 hr.

Purpose of above: reduce oil base fuels, even the MORE Nuclear projects
would power those lines and reduce dirty power plants.
JUST think if Americans reduced gasoline by 9% use in one year from
2007-2008.

If that puts Americans to work with actual long term weekly pay checks
to put food on the table then a one time kick back check after tax
season.

In about 2-3 years the less oil consumption by US travel, transport and
vacations. NOW SELL OFF ANY unneeded oil production to other countries
and THOSE Profits get put back into Social Security, Medicare, and
Medical needs.

So even in ten years if each state had 1 to 3 projects, it puts
Americans to work, then OUR oil product can be sold over seas, We make a
cleaner America, we have money being put back into retirements that
should never have been touch from either party in the past.

If the US starts now,
1 Nuclear plant time 7-9 years
500 miles high speed track 3-4 years depends on how its done
our own refineries time “I have now idea how long yet”
… go ahead add a few more
Airports and Ship ports think of going to an airport terminal and
catching a plane OR Train (security checkins) airports don’t lose their
passengers, they just by modified to a cleaner transportation.

Just think are you going to take a one a year tax season kick back, or
would you rather see your tax money be spent on projects that have good
paying jobs, and those Projects CREATE profit from them, AND then you
sell off the dirty fuel profit to put back into where it belonged in the
first place.

Then all said and done vote shut down the rigs for a rain day if ever
need again, hopefully not!.

So it is your choice, a yearly tax credit kick back that is coming out
of some other US taxpayers Pocket, OR make jobs that give us OUR
INDEPENDANCE and bring back the American dream like in the great Hoover
dam projects, or nasa.

but the only one who has been on some track of this is McCain, Obama has
said we can’t drill out way out, but would tax the last American owned
Company Exxon right out of the US. YOU can not TAX the Apple Farmer to
Get more Apples from him, YOU NEED TO grow more trees.

For Obama, “We can not just tax our way out of this one
either!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Granted, the economy is bad and we're in a crisis situation economically. It's all over the news. And I'm an Obama supporter as well. But I would have like to have seen them go head-to-head on a foreign policy and energy debate, as well. It may have been their last opportunity to do so before the election.

We have to reconsider the true motives behind our policies in Iraq, for example. Is it for Iraqi freedom and national security or for oil? How much do oil interests effect our decisions in foreign policy? And is it worth the added $1-5 trillion dollars in the long term to continue funding an war effort indefinitely? Iraq is neither a threat to our national security nor to global security. Nor is al-Qaeda and the Taliban.

What do these candidates plan to do realistically about global warming, the energy crisis, and the need to find a sustainable (renewable) energy to free us from our dependence on coal and fosssil fuel once and for all? So I am disappointed in Leher as well.

What ever congress does to try and fix our stunning economic catastrophe needs to be done very carefully. Congress needs to take their time, and be sure of what they are doing. Whatever is done needs to be sharply focused at helping, and protecting the best interest of the ordinary Americans. In particular the vast American middle class. 700 billion dollars is a lot of the peoples money to spend to bail out a bunch of corrupt Bush loan sharks.

When have you ever known any government plan, or project to only cost what the government said it would. Remember the war in Iraq. Bush and his so-called advisers said it would only cost you about 80 billion dollars. But we now know that the war in Iraq will cost you, and your children, and your grand children over a trillion dollars, and still counting.

So if 80 billion can end up costing you over a trillion dollars. How much could 700 billion end up costing you. Any math wizards out there. I come up with 9 trillion…:-(

My fellow human beings, just as I warned you ahead of this catastrophic economic meltdown, I must now warn you that what is ahead has the potential to be even more catastrophic than what we are going through now. The worlds geopolitical landscape has been booby trapped by the Bush McCain administration and their republican allies in congress. These booby traps are poised to spring at any time.

Fortunately the Worlds Nations have been blessed with many excellent leaders (except the US) who have been careful, wise, strong, and self-restrained in dealing with the provocations, and antagonism's of the Bush, McCain administration.

Barack Obama and the democrats are your best hope now. Tell your family, friends, and everyone you know to support them as best you can, and vote for them like your life, and the lives of your loved ones depends on it. Because it does. You will not survive 4 more years of Bush McCain.
