Obama's Green Initiatives

This article from the Register Guard gives insight to the Go Green campaign that President Obama will continue into the new year this 2010. Although the efforts to make products, companies, and people more aware of environmental issues is national, this article specifically looks at three Oregon companies who will be benefited by Obama's tax money.

Not only will this campaign be successful in helping out local, green focused companies, it is also meant to create many new jobs for the still dreadful unemployment numbers. In Oregon, this money will directly be implemented to companies in Hillsboro, Gresham, and Eugene who spend their time trying to improve the power and production of solar and wind energy.

While many businesses are in favor of, and are striving to become more energy efficient, it would be interesting to look deeper into SolarWorld, Centrosolar, or Pacific Metal Fab's direct works for achieving these "green" goals. Also, being able to realize the connection between their successes and the money from Obama's tax funds and increased working power would be great knowledge to have if the state and nation is going to continue to spend its money on businesses like these.
