President Obama's win

President Barack Obama won the presidential election for his second term in office. A reason why I chose to vote for him is because of his stance on environmental issues.
From the White House website:

 “We can’t have an energy strategy for the last century that traps us in the past. We need an energy strategy for the future – an all-of-the-above strategy for the 21st century that develops every source of American-made energy.” - President Barack Obama, March 15, 2012

Personally, how he plans to bring out country forward with energy is the most important environmental issue for me.  I hope that in this next term, the dependence on petroleum and coal will be greatly reduced.  This are extremely high hopes but our days left are numbered (that link is more for show rather than information. I didn't confirm the source). 

We can prevent our environment from turning into a disaster but that is up to us and up to our government to make it a priority.
