Just a small thing about something Obama said in the beginning. He offers up hydro-electric power as an alternative source of power he wants to invest in, along with wind and solar. He opposes drilling in ANWAR because of environmentl issues. Well, hydro-electric power as an environmentally friendly source of power is quite debatable. It's quite opposed by environmentalist, at least here in Washington. It impacts the ecosystem. . . fish and wild life and watersheds. It would appear to be a clean source of renewable power, but there is much debate that it may, in fact, produce as much green house gasses as fossil fuels. I don't know all the science behind it, so I don't really have an opinion, but I know that it is an issue being debated. It sounds good though. Just like nuclear power sounds bad, but is in fact a good viable alternative, at least scientifically.
