They are the result of him representing and bending to the will of the influence and sway of capitalist industry. He could have announced that he was going to implement a plan to switch to solar, wind, and other renewable energy resources. But he didn't. The system did not permit him to. The PROCESS and SYSTEM of Capital is to blame. Not immigrants and the poor.

Maybe in your 'lifeboat' you can console yourself that it is the 'ethical' thing to do. Hi Glen,

But your position will help ensure that greenhouse gas emissions will continue to grow. As I had predicted a few weeks ago with some friends, President Obama is now all for more nuclear plants, offshore oil drilling, and "clean coal". As I've been telling people, meeting the needs of an ever increasing population will mean that the environment will be sacrificed for more energy, more dams to provide water, more drilling, more sprawl, more roads, destruction of agricultural lands, etc. Let me know how your plan works out.
