Obama and Going Green
Posted by Bryan Lauer, LEED AP in GoGreen on 27-05-2009
With Barack Obama at the helm as the President of the United States, the American people are witnessing a change from where our energy comes from. In a recent article Obama wants 25% of energy use coming from alternative energy by 2030.
The Washington Post article Obama Touts Energy Progress President Obama discussed his clean/renewable energy plan near Las Vegas at a military branch. Our Nation’s goal is to reduce foreign oil use and greenhouse gas (GhG) emissions.
The article by William Branigin states that Nellis Air Force Base has a “collection of more than 72,000 (solar) panels built on 140 acres..$100 million to build, generating about a quarter of the electricity used on base (equivalent to $1 million per year).
Horrible ROI? Yes
It will reduce “carbon pollution by 24,000 tons a year, the equivalent of removing 4,000 cars from the U.S. highways.”

There are many renewable energy options and the best idea right now is to wait until the technology is better perfected.
