Summary of blog: This article is about Obama's energy plan

It discusses how American taxpayers will each get a $500 rebate check which will be funded as a result of the taxation on big oil companies. His 30-point energy plan will call for changes dealing with carbon emissions, fuel efficient vehicles, and renewable power. "“Obama’s energy plan is much more than a campaign laundry list,” says Bracken Hendricks, a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress, a think tank chaired by John Podesta, who heads the Obama administration’s transition effort. “It really is a centerpiece of Obama’s economic development strategy for the nation, for energy security, and rebuilding our cities and infrastructure" The information comes from rather good sources in this article BUT it is from a fairly bias viewpoint. It doesn't list any possible harms or negative issues. It also all sounds very pleasing but wether it will come true or not is questionable. The information in this article affects my family and i very much. Since Obama is going to be the leader of our nation details such as this are important! Some of the things in this article that really excite is the idea of having hybrid cars that get about 150 miles to the gallon. Another thing i'm excited for is Obamas plan to have 10 percent of the nation’s electricity to come from renewable energy sources like wind, solar, geothermal, and biomass by 2012.
