"in the end, everyone gains. As will we all, once we go renewable."

Obama's energy plans will help Republican areas

from Politics in the Zeros. Anti-war, global warming, peak oil, progressive politics by Bob Morris

Think about it. Obama wants a major push for renewable energy and a smart grid. The primary beneficiaries of that may well be rural, presumably more Republican areas, as that's where the wind and solar will be installed, something which means many more jobs for those areas.

But the equipment will be built in the cities, which tend to be Democratic. So, in the end, everyone gains. As will we all, once we go renewable.
