This was a question posed on the Thom Hartmann show today.

I want to hear that regulation of all corporations is back on, they cannot regulate themselves.
That we are not going to drill for anymore oil or natural gas.
That America is going to be the leader in renewable energies. Solar, wind, geothermal, tidal.
That a "Manhattan type Project" will start on Wednesday, to put this country on the alternative energy track.
That in 10-15 years, despite the screaming and blustering of the auto industry, gasoline and diesel vehicles will be outlawed.
That electric vehicles will be the only allowed.
That within one month, production of solar panels, windmills and anything related to renewable energy will be started.
That the currently unemployed will receive first consideration for those jobs.
That now is the time for change in the way we live, do business, think.
An apology. An apology to all Americans. An apology to Democrats for seeming to forsake them.

Just think about this.

If we all had electric cars, we would need to recharge them. Putting recharge stations in at the local malls,
parking lots, would create an untold number of jobs. Reconfigure the parking meters in local communities to a recharge station.
Put in your 50 cents per hour and recharge away. Over the parking lots in malls, install solar panels to supply the power for recharging.
If installed correctly they could even act as a cover for our cars, as the gas stations have to protect you from pumping in the elements.

Put solar panels in the median strips of our national highways, they cut right through the heart of many communities,
delivery would be easier here than from a "farm" 10's or 100's of miles away.
Unused land, going to waste for beauty and a little safety.

Get to work capturing the power of the tides. Up and down, in and out, regular and predictable. Use that to generate power to turbines
that would manufacture electricity to be delivered along the costal areas, with probably enough excess to export inland.

These are just some ideas, rapidly entered here.

Do I think I'll hear any of these? Unfortunately probably just the apology, and not the one to the Dems.
