Now this is awesome news. “U.S. President Barack Obama signed sweeping land and water conservation rules into law on Monday, setting aside millions of acres as protected areas and delighting environmentalists.”
Sure the environmentalists are happy about the measure, a package of more than 160 bills, would designate about 2 million acres — parks, rivers, streams, desert, forest and trails — in nine states as new wilderness and render them off limits to oil and gas drilling and other development.
This opens the door even wider for alternative-energy such as wind and solar. Which brings my question to the table: When is Obama going to sign into law a measure for alternative-energy? What is taking so long!!
I want to see tax credits for solar energy; I want to see Obama tell the dinosaur energy people, “You’re history” while graciously opening the door to solar energy panels on every roof top in America. Solar is so much cheaper and so much better for our environment.

As far as I know, Pres. Obama is indeed concerned about the environment, but it’s gonna take a while. There’s a big bunch of bills he has to approve and sign, but I’m pretty sure at LEAST one of them is on alternative energy.
we should advocate forcefully for residential solar systems
