According to your figures, the $47B cost of this investment will be repaid in savings on the cost of gasoline in 210 days. That's a pretty fast payback to our economy. Over 5 years, that would bring in $410B in cost savings on that $47B initial investment. That's one hell of a return on investment.

That's the problem with GOP folks on this thread. When you look at Obama's policies, you only look at the cost, not the return on investment. Cost/benefit analysis by definition means you should look at the benefits as well.
