The Democrats have become split in their decisions about President Obama's new plan of action for the economy and the environmental promises he made. Some would like to see Obama's promises fore-filled as soon as possible, even if it means requiring struggling companies to lessen their Carbon Dioxide emissions by switching to more expensive alternate energy options. The other democrats would like to see Obama's plans take action in time but not at the expense of the economy.
I think I agree with the second half of the Democrats on this topic. Sure, it would be nice to use more efficient forms of energy and to make the world a little cleaner to live in. But doing that right away means that there will be another Great Depression then by all means take care of the economy first. Please! I know that stopping global warming is important for our survival and keeping the earth clean is also something that I hold dear to me. Unfortunately, with the economy as bad as it is, the world may have to step aside for a small amount of time so that the US can get back on it's feet. I'm not saying ignore everything "green's" been working toward but just be conscious of its effects.
Until next time...
