    Obama Second Inauguration May Galvanize Solar Energy Industry

    During his second inaugural speech, President Barack Obama told the country that the new administration will "respond to the threat of climate change." What this means to the solar energy industry and to other renewable energy was of course not detailed in the short speech. The few lines devoted to combating global warming in Obama's speech have been the subject to considerable speculation, particularly how this new emphasis on "responding" to the threat of climate change will be translated into specific government policy in the coming weeks and months. Time asks the question that is on everyone's mind: can Obama translate his vision into policy. Its headline reads: "Obama Talked Climate Change in His Inaugural Address. Now Can He Do Something About It?" Although Congress considered passing a comprehensive energy bill during the first Obama Administration, the issue of climate change dropped down on the list of policy priorities after the mid-term elections.

    They need to do one thing that will make a world of change.

    Allow recycling of spent fuel rods from nuclear plants. And research future generations of nuclear plants to make for more grid base capacity so that can be used to charge more electric vehicles, from trucks to busses and commuter cars.

      It means he intends to use the EPA to to make electricity significantly higher in price to force you to use alternate energy. Both democratically controlled Congress and Senate told him to go pound rocks when they shot down Cap &Trade in 2010 when Climate Gate scandal broke out and killed GW looneys. . Now he will go around Congress and Senate and use XO to get his way. Problem is he will collapse the economy and he knows it. This is a very dangerous man with an agenda to punish America.
