Bush and his last days in office

In response to my classmate's blog, the amount of outrage there is to be had at the current president's changes that pass as he leaves office is extreme. It is hard to say how George W. Bush Jr. will be remembered in the next few decades, but it it obvious that what he puts into effect during these times will have a deep impact on Obama's administration and their limitations as well as what is in store for the environment in years to come.
Bush's proposed changes to how power plants handle their emissions will drastically affect the chemicals in the air. A simple shift of how the hourly rate will become the standard of measurement will lead to much more pollution a many animals and plants will suffer if the right precautions are not met. This will lead to water quality being affected as well, because it is a domino effect. The changes enacted by Bush are not creating anything positive.
Thus it is placed in Obama's hands to craft a new, and effective, system for preserving the environment in America with the inclusion of a national goal of better energy consumption. It is obvious that "going green" is mandatory in times like these that exhaust has been built up in our atmosphere.
Alternate sources of fuel has been becoming increasingly in need of attention as the efforts in Iraq will pave the way for oil and how it is handled in the U.S. in the coming years. Hybrid cars may be beneficial to those who save at the pump in the now but also the best proposed solution for the future when it comes to converting something that is more electric and not reliant on gasoline. This is but one of many actions that will affect emissions in the environment but also the mentality of a more energy efficient automobile.
The president-elect will truly enact guidelines for a more environmental conscious plan than our current President, although it will prove to be a hard path if the latter continues to set obstacles for this newcoming administration.
