Yes, Obama is a progressive leader, but somethings might never change.

WHAT I HEARD FROM THE PRESIDENT WAS ENCOURAGING. HE TALKED ABOUT MANY OF MY ROOT CONCERNS, AND THE BASIC PRINCIPALS OF WHAT I SAW ON THE DOCUMENTARY “WHO KILLED THE ELECTRIC CAR”. I ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO SEE THIS ENLIGHTENING FILM. ALSO: ABOUT 2005 GM MADE THE EV-1, AN ELECTRIC CAR. THERE WAS A LAW ENACTED THEN IN SAN DEAGO, CA. FOR 0 EMISSIONS. THE EV-1 HAD APPROXIMATELY 5 MOVING PARTS AND USED NO PETROLEUM OF ANY KIND. THE CAR LOOKED AND PERFORMED LIKE A NORMAL VEHICLE. ON A FULL CHARGE (PLUGGED IN AT YOUR HOME) IT HAD THE ABILITY TO TRAVEL ABOUT 300 MILES AT 70 MPH, AT AN ACCELERATION RATE OF 0-70 MPH IN ABOUT 6 SECONDS, THE SAME AS ANY V-6 GAS POWERED CAR. THEY PRODUCED AT LEAST A FEW HUNDRED OR MORE, THEY WERE GIVEN TO AVERAGE AMERICANS TO TEST DRIVE AND HEAR THEIR RESPONSE. THE PEOPLE LOVED THE PERFORMANCE AND THE RIDE OF THE EV-1. BUT THERE WAS EVEN MORE GOOD NEWS, IN JUST THE FEW MONTHS WHILE GM WAS TESTING THE EV-1 THE BATTERY POWER SOURCES HAD REACH A WHOLE NEW LEVEL. USING A VOUCHER TO PURCHASE AN ELECTRIC/HYBRID CAR WOULD PUT PEOPLE BACK TO WORK AND FUND THE COMPANY FOR PRODUCING SOMETHING RATHER THAN JUST A HANDOUT. THE AMERICAN TAX PAYER WOULD ACTUALLY RECEIVE SOMETHING FOR THEIR INVESTMENT. FURTHER: A COMMITTEE WAS ASSEMBLED TO OVERSEE THE PROGRAM. THE COMMITTEE SUGGESTED A HYDROGEN POWERED VEHICLE WITH A DEVELOPMENT WINDOW 20-30 YEARS OUT. THE EV-1 PROGRAM WAS KILLED AND THE EV-1'S WERE COLLECTED, TAKEN TO A JUNK YARD AND DESTROYED.BY GM. THE POLICE WERE BROUGHT ON-SITE TO CONTROL THE CROWD. MOREOVER: IN ABOUT 2003 THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION PUT INCENTIVES IN THE TAX CODE FOR ANY LARGE CARS OR SUV (GAS HOGS) PURCHASED. ANY COMPANY THAT PURCHASED ANY LARGE CARS, OR SUV, OR HUMMER COULD GET A TAX CREDIT UP TO $100K, ON THE OTHER HAND ANY COMPANY PURCHASING A VEHICLE THAT WOULD CONSERVE FUEL ONLY RECEIVED A TAX CREDIT FOR UP TO $5K. RECENTLY SENATOR SHELLBY AND OTHERS SAID THE GOVERNMENT DIDN'T HURT THE AMERICAN AUTO INDUSTRY SO WHY SHOULD THEY HELP THE AMERICAN AUTO INDUSTRY NOW, I THINK HE IS BEING DISINGENUOUS. SENATOR SHELLBY MAY HAVE NOT WANTED TO HELP ANY UNION BUILT AMERICAN AUTOMOBILES IN THE INDUSTRY. THOSE TAX INCENTIVES GAVE EVERY INCENTIVE TO BUILD INEFFICIENT CARS, AND BURDENED ANY CREATIVE THOUGHTS ON CONSERVATION, NEVER MIND INNOVATION. WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IS WHY THESE NEWS STORIES ARE FOUND ON HBO AND NOT THE LIBERAL NEWS MEDIA ENERGY CRISIS: ONCE AGAIN, LISTENING TO THE PRESIDENT ON THE TONIGHT SHOW WITH JAY LENO HE ACTUALLY MENTION VISITING A HYBRID CAR PLANT AND THESE CARS PLUG INTO AN OUTLET IN OUR HOMES. HE WENT ON TO SAY THAT THESE CARS AT THE END OF THE DAY COULD BE PLUGGED BACK INTO THE OUTLET AND REPLACE OR SELL THE ELECTRICAL POWER STORED IN THE BATTERY BACK TO THE POWER COMPANY. MY SUGGESTION FOR VOUCHERS TO THE HOMEOWNER TO REPLACE THEIR EXISTING ROOF WITH SOLAR PANEL ROOFS WOULD ACCOMPLISH THAT SAME THING AND ALSO POWER THE VEHICLE FROM THEIR SOLAR POWER SOURCE. THIS WOULD CREATE JOBS FROM THE RAW MATERIALS TO THE INSTALLATION. ONCE AGAIN THE AMERICAN TAX PAYER WOULD ACTUALLY RECEIVE SOMETHING FOR THEIR MONEY. THIS WOULD ALSO ALLOW COMPANIES TO SELL THEIR ENERGY CREDITS HELPING REDUCE GLOBAL WARMING. ALSO, ONCE AGAIN I MUST REFER TO THE ABOVE MENTIONED DOCUMENTARY “WHO KILLED THE ELECTRIC CAR” THERE WAS EVEN MORE EXCITING NEWS ON THAT FILM. THE DEVELOPMENT OF RESIDENTIAL SOLAR PANELS ATTACHED TO SHINGLE ROOFING MATERIAL. SOMEHOW THESE SHINGLES ABSORB THE SOLAR RAYS AND PRODUCE ENERGY. THE PRESIDENT'S AMERICAN RECOVERY AND REINVESTMENT ACT HAS THE RETROFITTING OF FEDERAL BUILDINGS AS PART OF THE REINVESTMENT PLAN. HOPEFULLY ROOFS ARE BEING REPLACED WITH THESE NEW COMMERCIAL MATERIALS, LIKE METAL PANEL ROOFS AND OTHER TYPES OF COMMERCIAL ROOFS SHOWN HAVE BEEN CREATED. FINALLY: AN OLDER GENTLEMAN AND HIS WIFE DEDICATED THEIR LIVES TO THIS TECHNOLOGY, THEIR NAMES I REGRETTABLY FORGET. THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THIS TECHNOLOGY THEIR ENTIRE LIVES. THE MAN AND HIS WIFE ARE AT LEAST IN THERE EIGHTIES AND WOULD LIKE TO SEE THIS IN THEIR LIFETIME. OF COURSE HE DID NOT SAY THIS, BUT HIS WIFE ALLUDED TO IT , MR. PRESIDENT I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THE LIBERTY AND RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT THIS MAN AND HIS WIFE ARE RECOGNIZED FOR THEIR HARD WORK, ACHIEVEMENTS AND TENACITY IN THIS ENDEAVOR. THEY WORKED ON THIS SCIENCE WHEN IT WAS A FOOL'S ERRAND.

It's time to end this prohibition. Marijuana is the #1 cash crop in every single state in the US. And still the majority of it comes from outside the country Most of the high grade stuff is cultivated in Vancouver where it is illegal, but it's not enforced or punished as harshly as it is here. Mexico is a major supplier of other the lower grades, which floods across our border Obama has spoken about this several time during his campaign, and from what I gather he plans to reform the Drug laws. The main changes he said he would consider would deal with the legalization or decriminalization of Marijuana. If this country wants to really get its shit together, then legalization is one of the smartest ways of doing it. The benefits of legalization for the economy and for society are too long to list here. But, it would be one of the most positive changes this country could ever make. BTW, I just subscribed to your blog. You bring up some thoughtful topics and issues which I rarely see discussed on many of the blogs I read. I glad I finally discovered it. I was thinking of posting this on socialmedian and starting a conversation. It would be great to have your input! Let me know if you would be interested.

It would be good for the economy as well as the amount of arrests and police we waste on such a meaningless plant. I like the new site design Thomas. Looks really good.
