the major elements are the 800 billion dollars that are gong to be spent on the infrastructure of the nation, creating jobs, and also on trying to create more efficient energy. it provides money for business to "go green"
obama is hoping that he will spend all this money and over time we will have a better economy. he also is trying to help us stray away from fossil fuels and into electric cars. the GOP hates it because we are 3 trillion dollars i debt how are we going to pay for this.
i don't agree with obama, its a nice plan but i don't think we could pull it off even if we did have money and that's why in really against it because we don't have any money to spend for this. It's pouring $90 billion into clean energy, including unprecedented investments in a smart grid; energy efficiency; electric cars; renewable power from the sun, wind, i say why and with what money.
