Barack Obama has a historic opportunity to change the direction of our nation. As two roads diverge in a red, white, and blue country, he must take the road less traveled on, instead of continuing the status quo.
We have to be honest: our nation is in an energy crisis. And nobody has shown more leadership and interest and interest in our nation's energy policy than Al Gore. Al Gore made a bold challenge to "our nation to commit to producing 100 percent of our electricity from renewable energy and truly clean carbon-free sources within 10 years."
Al Gore's plan is as simple as it's bold. Using clean alternative fuels (solar, wind, geothermal), energy efficiency, and a new energy grid he would solve some of our nations most pressing problems: high gas prices, our dependence on foreign oil, global warming, and the economic recession. This realistic yet ambitious plan uses current technology and can be met through hard work and financing.
Obama promised change. Now he has the chance to prove it and restore America's energy leadership in the world.

"In the woods, we return to reason and faith. There I feel that nothing can befall me in life, -- no disgrace, no calamity (leaving me my eyes), which nature cannot repair. Standing on the bare ground, -- my head bathed by the blithe air and uplifted into infinite space
..."In the woods, we return to reason and faith. There I feel that nothing can befall me in life, -- no disgrace, no calamity (leaving me my eyes), which nature cannot repair. Standing on the bare ground, -- my head bathed by the blithe air and uplifted into infinite space, -- all mean egotism vanishes. I become a transparent eyeball; I am nothing; I see all; the currents of the Universal Being circulate through me; I am part and parcel of God. The name of the nearest friend sounds then foreign and accidental: to be brothers, to be acquaintences, master or servant, is then a trifle and a disturbance. I am the lover of uncontained and immortal beauty. In the wilderness, I find something more dear and connate than in streets or villages. In the tranquil landscape, and especially in the distant line of the horizon, man beholds somewhat as beautiful as his own nature"(Emerson)
