Energy Efficiency To Help Recovery - Obama
The eyes of the world were focussed on the US yesterday as a very important man revealed the future, as he sees it.
Yes Steve Jobs revealed the iPad!
Oddly enough later on President Obama was also giving his first State of the Union Address.
While people wowed at Apples new product, the worst kept secret of recent months, they began spinning the jokes based on its name up until Mr President was addressing Americans and it is interesting that he didn’t bury energy efficiency, as some had predicted.
In a speech that was designed to reverse the downward trend that he and the Democrats have recently suffered, Obama focused on positive messages for the populace – spending, tax cuts, jobs and incentives.
As far as energy saving businesses is concerned, Obama continued with his aim to lead the US to energy efficiency, good news for US based energy saving companies.
President Obama said in his speech:
"Providing incentives for energy-efficiency ..... (is) the right thing to do for our future, because the nation that leads the clean energy economy will be the nation that leads the global economy. And America must be that nation."
There was no back-tracking and the emotive speech will hopefully lead to the implementation of more energy saving technology and solutions.
Tax incentives will encourage business owners to act to reduce energy use, again producing the ideal conditions in which to run an energy saving business.
Underlining this was the Presidents statement:
“Even if lawmakers doubt scientific evidence of climate change, incentives for energy efficiency and clean energy are the right thing for the nation's future.”
Despite concerns beforehand over the watering down of the Presidents Healthcare Plan and other initiatives it appears that energy efficiency is still high on the agenda.
The President wants to boost jobs and feels energy efficiency will help with that, but Jobs had been boosting his company earlier in the day by providing something for all those tax cuts to be spent on – iPads, I wonder if they're energy efficient?
