President Obama's energy policy for the second term 2012-2016
12/27/2011
The lower prices of natural gas which can be substituted for coal in electricity production to reduce emissions without legislation gives Obama more energy policy flexibility during the second term. The increase in shale oil production which can generate new jobs is supported by Obama and this provides more flexibility to work with Republicans in the second term. The slump in solar energy panel prices removes another element of disagreement with Republicans by making investments in companies like Solyndra unattractive. This makes the second term energy policy prospects very different from the first term.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
