On Day 1, the next president should demonstrate the political will to create the energy revolution that this world needs. He or she should take steps to reduce and eventually eliminate the nation's dependency on oil. If this isn't done, we'll all find ourselves in big trouble a few years down the road. In this way, the president can demonstrate the kind of courage and leadership that we constantly say we have, and our country can prove its benevolence to the planet.

On Day One the President needs to consider the impact of global warming and its connection to the war in Iraq. We need alternative fuel sources to oil and other fossil fuel sources.

The next President should announce support for Robert Zubrin's Energy Victory policy that all new cars sold in the United States be flex-fuel vehicles that can run on ethanol and methanol. Achievable for just $100 a car, this helps the environment and the third world poor, while helping to break OPEC.

Continue to place proper emphasis on developing and finding alternate energy sources. We need to set better priorities and focus our efforts. We can achieve great things if we set clear goals and utilize the proper resources to attain those goals

Get serious about a new sustainable energy policy. No coal, no oil. Get serious about climate change.

On Day One, the new president needs to end the tragic war in Iraq and bring back our young men and women. Then we can begin to spend our investments here at home to create a clean energy economy and good jobs for our people, to power our economy, to curb global warming, and to create a more sustainable society, environment, and econ for the 20th century.

The next president has an easy decision on what to do On Day One of his or her administration: affix prices to carbon emissions.

Public transit in most parts of the United States is abysmal. On Day One, the next president should start an initiative to help smaller cities get funding to build or improve public transit systems. This will help alleviate the massive traffic problems faced in so many places, reduce dependence on oil, reduce drunk driving problems, create a stronger sense of community among strangers, and help to alter the outdated patterns of development that are killing our country's natural beauty.

Progressive Growth The American Dream has been a story of progressive policy establishing conditions in which individuals have been able to seize opportunities and make a better life for themselves, their children, their families, and their communities. It can be so again. The ladder of economic mobility can be rebuilt with the right leadership and progressive policy.

The 123-page fourth version of my compilation of energy invention suppression cases is available at the bottom of http://green-salon.com/presentations.htm and also at www.energysuppression.com. Ending viciously thorough ongoing suppression of inventions of new energy sources would provide multiple synergistic benefits to the global economy and environment.
