Obama Energy Plan-How Can the U.S. Meet its Energy Needs?

Feb. 19, 2009 - PRLog -- Phoenix, AZ – Understanding Barack Obama's Energy Plan, a new report published by Energy Business Reports, analyzes every aspect of Obama's energy policy directive and critically assesses whether it can and will work.

President Obama proposes in his New Energy for America plan to reduce overall U.S. oil consumption by 35%, or 10 million barrels per day, by 2030. Obama voted in favor of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, which provided tax incentives to promote the reduction in energy consumption.

The Obama Energy Plan is designed to offset imports from OPEC nations, primarily the Middle East and Venezuela, thus diminishing U.S. reliance on this expensive and unpredictable source of oil.

Apart from creating a systemic way to reduce oil consumption, the Obama energy plan also encourages a wide range of alternative energy sources including wind power, solar power, and biofuels.
