In the New York Times today, there was an article about how Obama came up with a plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to levels it had been in 1990. He wants businesses to pay for greenhouse gases they emit by buying allowances to pollute. If he is elected, by 2050, he wants to reduce emissions to 80 percent below the levels of 1990. However, this has come after criticism of him supporting Bush's bill energy bill in 2005 and advocating Illinois' coal industry. If elected, do you think Obama would really strive to acheive this goal, or is it another empty promise aimed to gather support of voters?
