President Barack Obama (has a nice ring to it eh?) flew all the way to Denver, Colorado today to sign the stimulus bill into law at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. You may ask yourself, why Colorado and why at a museum? Well, the museum has a PV solar array on the roof and Colorado is the renewable energy thought leader of the world (well I may exaggerate a bit, but one day we will be). Whatever the case, I do believe now that this president is committed to energy efficiency and renewable energy for at least the next 4 (hopefully 8) years. This committment is necessary for the U.S. to remain competitive in the world, for our economy to continue to grow, for the stability of the RE industry, and to help mitigate the effects of global warming.
This is just the beginning however. We now must let out that collective sigh and get to work, because we can't always count on the leadership of President Obama to guarantee centuries of energy production from renewable sources.
