14 DAY TRIAL // A few days back, we shared information with respect to how US Republican Mitt Romney decided to accuse President Barack Obama of having made some very poor decisions concerning the future of the country's energy industry.
Thus, the American businessman and politician makes a case of how the green-oriented energy policies Barack Obama is presently trying to implement on US soil make little sense from a financial standpoint, given the fact that these technologies are still in the new and therefore cannot be successfully made to work on a national scale.
Moreover, he emphasizes on how bringing down the traditional energy industry destroys far more jobs than renewables can ever put back on the market, which means that the US economy is bound to suffer a considerable decline on the not-so-long run.
The time has now come for the US President to respond to these accusations by arguing that the country need embrace the use of renewable power sources if it is to reach the energy independence it so longs for.
According to The Examiner, this past weekend Obama went as far as to accuse Mitt Romney of displaying a “disdain for green energy,” which basically translates both into the Republican's refusal to admit that green energy sources can both boost national economy by providing Americans with new job opportunities, and into Romney's remaining oblivious to the fact that renewables make considerable sense from an environmental standpoint.
Backing up the President's statements, Federico Pena, who used to serve as secretary of Energy under the Clinton administration, explained how, “We will never reach energy independence by turning our backs on homegrown renewable energy and better auto mileage.”
Given the fact that Mitt Romney's and Barack Obama's views on the future of energy in the US are different in the extreme, is it quite likely that the country's citizens are the ones who will be required to make the final decision with respect to where the nation's power industry is to head in the future, by choosing to offer their support to one or the other of these two politicians.
