Everyone, it seems has two cents to offer president-elect Obama on how he should deal with energy and environmental issues.

Here's a report from Clean Air-Cool Planet, an organization searching for global warming solutions: http://www.cleanair-coolplanet.org/cpc/PLI_report.php

And, in yesterday's Wall Street Journal, the newspaper's CEO Council offered several recommendations for the new administration, including:
-- Coming up with a comprehensive energy and environment policy
-- Decarbonizing the power sector
-- Promoting energy efficiency
-- Investing in the energy infrastructure
-- Bringing electric cars into use

Among the people on the Journal's roundtable were Jim Rogers, CEO of Duke Energy; Carlos Ghosn, president and CEO of Nissan Motor Corp.; Paul S. Otellini, president and CEO of Intel Corp; Senator Jeff Bingaman (D-N.M.); and Eric Schmidt, chairman and CEO of Google Inc.

Everyone *should* have advice for Obama. Regardless of the economy (once it comes roaring back in 6 months to 3 years), standard of living increases in China & India (demand), increased need for utility-grade power (electric vehicles - more demand), and peak oil (supply) - means that energy will soon (again) - will make things much much worse - and may cause an even greater energy-price economic crunch than we're seeing today.
