Green Economic Stimulus

I support a green economic stimulus plan based on clean, safe, renewable energy, such as solar, wind, and geo thermal.

For years business has been dumping poison into the air and into the ground creating very expensive health care problems for the rest of us. By turning off the coal plants, gasoline powered cars, and nuclear power plants, and turning up renewable energy we can create a new picture of health for America.

The price of crude oil going up ruined our economy in the 1970s and it has done it again here in 2008 -2009. When the price of gasoline increased 500% during the Bush years, it was inevitable that a downward turn in the economy would follow. A dramatic increase in the basic costs of goods we all use without an equivalent rise in wages will result in an economic recession.

It is now possible to heat homes, provide electricity, and power cars, and keep fuel costs at a constant rate. Once the solar panels are installed it makes little difference what OPEC charges for oil. The sun shines for free.

By purchasing oil from oil rich countries that sponsor terror we are literally financing our own destruction.

Budgeting for the green industry will create jobs and provide economic stimulus; it will provide stability for our economy; it will save lives and reduce health care costs; and provide energy independence from foreign countries that are hostile to the United States
