He says he's going to pressure Detroit, probably with higher CAFE standards, maybe subsidies(?). Also invest in solar, wind, etc. The bottom line is you don't know what Obama would try to do, and frankly, he doesn't, either, because he doesn't understand enough about the political environment (with merely 3 years experience as a Senator) to know what can even BE done. The keyword in your post, however, is "subsidies". Any "solution" that involves significant subsidies is a non-starter, in that "subsidies" do not in any way improve the economics of a bad energy source. The economy still takes the hit. As previously pointed out, the most promising alternative energy source -- wind -- is already getting off the ground -- and that is happening under Bush. Your lack of understanding of this problem is nothing short of amazing.
