[Trino Cularoid]

Watch his policies as he signs them into law, that will show his true character, and any hidden agendas.

Pretty good for a first day:

Obama talks about making America completly energy independent within 10 years by renewable energy?! I´ve heard that one before... with the technology we have already it should not take 10 fucking years! That is just bull shit, and by then he wont even be president! It will probably be some other Bush like asshole or even worse! just another skull & bones member? converting our energy system to renewable energy should be more like 1-2 years at most!
remember tesla? niagara falls? just niagara falls would probably be enough energy to sustain our basic energy needs for the whole country, not to mention other technologies like solar, wind, beach wave, geothermal, etc.
what is so hard about an electric motor and using this motor to tap into nature´s natural movent and harnessing energy?

I think even 10 years is unrealistically optimistic. When Diesel locomotives started replacing steam it took more than 50 years for steam to be phased out in favour of the far more efficient and cheaper new technology. Replacing infrastructure is a long process governed by many factors including economic ones. People have massive investments in the technology of the day changing things will take time. Even the switch from gas lighting to electric lighting took more than 10 years.

The powers that are benefiting by technology as it stands will be very reluctant to change and will frustrate many attempts to bring about this change.

The longer this userper stays in office, the more damage that will be done. It is very sad indeed.

he killed a few thousand US citizens unpunished!!
