President Obama knows our country's growth depends on cleaner supplies for energy, not off shore drilling. On May, 6 President Obama went to Alisson Transmission Headquarters where hybrid transmissions are manufactured. In the last year, as Obama says, the company ha added 50 new jobs and plans to add another 200 in just 2 more years.
"This is where the jobs of the future are at," he says of Allison. Obama details his desires for our nation to steer away from the use of foriegn oils and move on to greener pastures. He says he wants the US to be the leader in the green movement and for other nations to buy these products from us. "I don't want the new breakthrough technologies and the new manufacturing taking place in China and India. I want all those new jobs right here in Indiana, right here in the United States of America, with American workers, American know-how, American ingenuity." Obama's plan seems to be a tripple threat (in a good way). 1) We'll be making goods here and creating jobs for Americans. 2) If we can win the green race we'll be the leader in clean energy and other countries will buy from us and 3) we'll be bennefitiing the environment while reducing our expendeture on crude oils.
Obama says in the next decade he hopes to reduce our foreign oil expense by one third. He says that simply drilling more, here in the US, wont help. We're already drilling more than ever before, he says, and where we only hold 2-3 percent of the world's oil reserves and consume a quarter, we simply can't "drill our way out of the problem."
A proponent of clean engery Obama seems to be on the road to creating more jobs for our nation as well as helping out the environment emensly day by day.
