Press Release Summary: Author and energy technology businessman Mark Paul assesses Obama's and McCain's energy plans. This comparison sheds light on what will work, what won't, and what needs to change in each plan – in order to solve our energy problems.
Press Release Body: Portland, OR, October 06, 2008 -- As Americans remember the tragedy inflicted upon us by terrorists on 9/11/2001, and are reminded daily of the energy crisis this country faces, they are "getting" that there is a correlation between the two. And people are realizing that action must be taken to regain our economic leadership. Author and businessman Mark Paul has assessed the energy plans of presidential candidates Barack Obama and John McCain. Paul finds these plans are politicized, and come up short, but could actually make a significant difference – if they embraced new innovations Paul has suggested.
"Every time I fill up my gas tank and pay my bills, I'm reminded that we have an energy problem," says Michael Shenker, an organizational performance consultant. "Today, those of us in the know are looking for concrete, non-political actions from our leaders. Instead, we get the same old same old. A democrat who professes to want to drill... where government thinks oil companies should drill and a republican who only gives renewable energy technology lip service. We need a 21st century energy initiative and leaders who care more about the state of the world than their careers."
Although Obama and McCain both recognize the seriousness of the energy issue, they continue to play politics – to get elected, instead of seeing the value of the other side's perspective. What is needed is a comprehensive solution that cuts across party lines, cuts across ideology and gets to the hard work ahead of us. For too long, our nation's leaders have played politics, gambling our children's futures. Insufficient investments have been made in alternative fuels, and political power has held sway over renewable power.
The "Candidate's Energy Plans Assessment" ( http://www.energy2025.com/Comparisons.pdf )evaluates not only the two candidates' perspective, but also compares it against "The 21st Century Energy Initiative", a new book by Mark Paul. With this comparison, voters can see where the candidates' proposals fall short and where innovative thinking can provide real solutions. And voters can be more informed and take action to encourage politicians to stop playing politics.
"This assessment captures the essence of what the two candidates are all about," says Ty Planz, President of Capital Connection, an alternative financing company. "Both Obama and McCain need to take notice of this comparison and make the necessary shifts in energy policy to get ahead of the 'energy shift' coming our way."
The Assessment presents a clear and comprehensive view, and points to a potential bi-partisan solution that would speed us toward energy independence.
"This comparison points to our differences and therefore shows how we can come together to create a 21st Century Energy Initiative that will solve our energy problems once and for all," says Mark Paul, CEO of NXergy, Inc. – a Renewable Energy Technology Accelerator.
