Posted by admin on February 13th, 2010 and filed under offshore oil production | 7 Comments »

(1/27/10) Barack Obama–State of the Union: “To create more of these clean energy jobs, we need more production, more efficiency, more incentives. That means building a new generation of safe, clean nuclear power plants in this country. It means making tough decisions about opening new offshore areas for oil and gas development. It means continued investment in advanced biofuels and clean coal technologies.”

    I know that the American president said it differently than I and a few others have understood it. There are opportunities for coal and gas exempted from the CO2 and there are ways of converting CO2 into oil.

    This is probably one of the challenges that the President to see for the USA – and it is a worthy Aplaus.

    Sorry, but this is all very clean washing of dirty energy ;)
    Nuclear power is never clean but very expensive, with all its problems. America has so much sun Consistent with conversion to solar power, wind power and geothermal power could be achieved very much in a few years …..

    safe, clean nuclear? offshore drilling? this isn’t the inspiring thought leader I elected.
