Obama's New Deal in the Offing

Today's New York Times article on Obama's massive new public-works project shows just how in-sync we are in our thinking about what's needed for this country; and for that, I am heartily glad! This depressed area of the country could definitely use some newer schools, with updated computer facilities, and some construction jobs to build them.

I would also like to see the new administration follow up on Bill Richardson's plan of a "Manhattan Project" for new energy sources, especially wind power and solar, but not ruling out nuclear energy. To put our money where our mouths are, we're considering solar panels in 2009.
