In America’s most recent election, I voted third party.
I believe that is the greatest opportunity for change in America.
That having been said, it’s VERY cool to see the Obama transition team using new media (youTube, and Change.gov) to communicate what’s happening and attempt to get people involved in the discussions and policy-making processes of government.
It’s through a dispersed and open knowledge platform, and with the support (but not interference) of government, that new technologies will be developed by today’s companies and individuals.
This can and will bring about the positive changes needed to really make solar, wind, and geothermal, and as-yet undiscovered sources of energy viable alternatives to power the United States, and indeed, the entire planet.
It remains to be seen just how aggressive the changes will be once president-elect Obama becmoes President Obama. However, they are to be congratulated for their efforts at transparency, and for communicating via media which allows average, everyday people to feel like their opinions matter.
