Thank you for reminding me to write more precisely.

I believe that an Obama administration will push alternative energy  
technologies more strongly and more intelligently than has the Bush  
administration.

As for his obvious uphill battle, you will of course remember his  
common remonstration that we, the people, have to effect the changes  
we need, that government can't fix things, that the people must make  
the right changes. Government can help or hinder, but people must  
change the choices they make and the actions they take; they must be  
responsible and they must not expect government to do the work for  
them. Gee, sounds like the homesteader mindset.
