That Obama told people about when he was running for President. Where is all that “green energy” we were sold?

I voted for Obama, with full knowledge that change takes time.
In the early 60′s, when Kennedy said we would target landing on the moon, it didn’t happen in 2 years. Not even 4 years. But by golly, we got there.
I see states like California on a trajectory for a healthy percentage of their electricity coming from renewable sources. This sort of thing happens quietly. People often resist change, even when it’s good for them.
There are engineering reasons why it would be impractical to power a car by solar, if that’s what you mean. The amount of energy falling as sunlight on the roof of a car is small compared to the kind of power needed to move a heavy car. If the car was ultra-light, like 50 pounds, then it would be possible, but such a car would not be safe in a crash. We will see full-electric cars soon, and maybe someone will put a solar option on the roof, either to extend the range by a tiny amount, or to provide an emergency recharge for a stranded vehicle. A driver could then just leave the vehicle in the sun for a day, then limp along to an outlet where they could plug in for a real charge.
GM is building a brand new factory to manufacture the new “green” motors. These are some of the new “green” jobs Obama promised us.
Westinghouse has closed it’s old American light bulb plant and laid off all the American workers. But the good news is they are building a brand new factory to manufacture the new “green” bulbs. More of the “green” jobs Obama promised us.
This is wonderful news. For the Mexicans. Both factories are being built in Mexico. With US tax dollars.
Vote in 2012 to send this bumbling idiot back to Chicago before he destroys America.
All these things are currently available (well solar panels for houses more so than cars), so the answer is NOW if you want it. Seeing as I can finally buy a full electric vehicle (Chevy Volt, Nissan Leaf, Tesla, more to come) I’d say things are moving about as fast as you could expect during such a slump in the ecomony.
I think the more important questions are:
When will we get those WMD’s that our good old boy Dubya promised us?!?
When will we get Bin Laden from this WAR ON TERROR!?!
