Advice to Pres. Obama (#5): One Engineer's Advice for Energy Policy
Engineer-Poet, The Oil Drum
... Whatever we undertake to do must aim for three very important things:

1. It must reduce the use of what is scarce, imported, or gives money to people hostile to us.
2. It must only increase the use of what we have in abundance (which isn't everything touted as such).
3. It must reduce the burden of emissions on land, water and air.

If we don't keep all of these things in mind, we will make bad problems worse. (How much worse? Think "TVA coal-ash lagoon burst", but flooding the entire Ninth Ward of New Orleans. That much worse.)
