Green Options

President-elect Obama has made it clear that investing in clean energy and building a new energy economy will be a centerpiece of his agenda once he takes office. And the results of a recent Zogby poll suggests he has the mandate to do it.

The survey results come as Obama, fresh off what had widely been viewed as a successful tour of the Middle East and Europe, including a speech to 200,000 Germans in Berlin. But the trip quickly became fodder for an aggressive McCain campaign strategy that included a TV ad comparing the celebrity status of Barack Obama to that of Brittney Spears and Paris Hilton.
