Alternative Energy will soon be a high priority in the United States...

"The economy's meltdown has hurt alternative energy companies by cutting off their access to capital. But many entrepreneurs in the field still see the crisis as an opportunity, for the new president and for them. Obama, they say, should use his energy proposals as tools to stimulate the economy and create jobs. Someone needs to build America's wind farms, solar arrays and biofuel plants, and those jobs can't be shipped overseas."

"Even if energy isn't the first issue on Obama's agenda, there are signs that he plans to give it high priority. Rumors are circulating that he wants to create an energy security council within the White House, steering energy and climate change policy in much the way that the National Security Council handles security."
