Long Term Solution to the Energy Crisis

Barack Obama sees the big picture when it comes to high gas prices. That is why he rejected the gas tax holiday scam.

He talked about his long term solution to the energy crisis while campaigning in Oregon before their primary...

If we are going to solve our energy problems we’ve got to think long term. It’s time for us to be serious about investing in alternative energy. It’s time for us to get serious about raising fuel efficiency standards on cars. It’s time that the entire country learn from what’s happening right here in Portland with mass transit and bicycle lanes and funding alternative means of transportation.

That’s the kind of solution that we need for America. That’s the kind of truth-telling that we are going to do in this campaign and when I am President of the United States of America.

Amen! - This kind of straight talk is why I've been with Obama since very early on.

Straight talk without a shred of common sense. Don't get me wrong, I would love to see alternative energy sources, but most often the one discussed is ethanol. Not the answer, it only drives food prices up. Mass transit, sure I like this idea also, but once again not feasible where I live.
Obama sure talks a good game, but I have yet to hear any real ideas come from him.
