if you want to know what Obama is proposing to do about our energy needs, what he said during the debates was that he intends to fund research for and retooling factories to produce energy efficient engines, hydrothermal energy, wind energy, and solar panels.
so assuming the rest of the world wants to buy those types of things, and outlook is positive they will, we should be able to reduce our oil consumption, keep the middle of the country employed, and sustain our economy for a good long while. he stated for the next century, and that seems about right to me.
