Leadership

Although Barack Obama still has a ways to go in his understanding the energy issues, he grasps the climate and economic issues, and is focusing on a response. Whether or not he can navigate the political issues that will confront him still remains to be seen, but he is where I expected and hoped him to be at the beginning of the endeavor. My prediction is that 2012 is the crunch date. If we have not acknowledged the need for a national mobilization to confront the energy issue by 2012, the country and quite possibly the world will be in deep trouble.
