Draft energy program Barack Obama worth 150 billion dollars a transformation of the country’s green mainland . However, its appropriateness in a crisis is open to criticism from experts.So far, the U.S. is difficult to name an example to be followed in matters of energy and the environment. But there is a chance that with the advent of the new president all the changes, says the German economic newspaper Handelsblatt.Mnogie Americans expect from the newly elected president, not only to overcome the financial crisis, but changes in energy policy. Some expect that Barack Obama will turn the course of 180 degrees and create a green country with a modern, efficient and environmentally friendly power cars. Great expectations for this breed is not only the supporters of the new head of the U.S., but also producers of alternative energy. Ambitions Barack Obama easily read at key points in its draft energy program. Thus, according to the document production of energy from alternative sources to double within three years. And by 2025, wind, water, solar and biomass will provide a quarter of the required energy. In addition, individuals and legal entities must be economical to expend energy. To this end, plans to test energy-saving three-quarters of public buildings and 2 million houses. With respect to the imposition of tax on the use of coal and the increase of petrol, by these measures, Barack Obama has no plans to use. Instead, he intends to follow the example of Europe and legislation to limit carbon dioxide emissions and to introduce certificates for CO2. The state in turn would provide financial support to power the country. In the next ten years, Obama will give producers clean energy $ 150 billion of taxpayers money will be spent on construction of modern coal-fired power plants, the creation of hybrid cars, energy conservation program, and new electricity grid.

To gain access to public funds, companies have to comply with fairly stringent conditions. They need to realize the projects urgent and to show their impact on the labor market . Support companies will be limited in time: from year to two. Such good intentions of the president has so far remained only a draft and should be approved by the U.S. Congress that it would be very difficult in the current economic conditions. Environment Committee Chairman Barbara Boxer predicts tough times for the Congress: We look forward to the brutal battle . Battles, however, can occur not only in Congress. The head of the oil group Exxon-Mobil Rex Tillerson criticizes Obama plan to support alternative energy. According to him, in an era of falling demand for energy, outstanding loans and a lack of technological innovations in the highly appropriate to seek a doubling of alternative energy. Despite the fact that the Americans a new energy project may seem very ambitious, as compared with European standards, its scale is modest. Now the energy sector of the U.S. solar and wind energy accounts for only 2%. Kevin Landis, manager of the Fund’s alternative energy companies in Silicon Valley, very briefly described the share of alternative energy: This is nothing . alternative energy, electricity, energy, coal-fired power plants, hybrid cars, the environment, Barack Obama, Energy Program
