Barack Obama has given his answers to the sciencedebate. Of cource they give the impression of a competent campaign that gave thoughtful, realistic answers to all questions.

 

I especially liked this answer to the national security question

"Another critical role for R&D in national security is energy. Our petroleum dependence continually threatens our security, and my proposals for accelerating new alternative energy technologies will be an important part of my national security R&D agenda."

So, not only will Obama invest 150 Billion USD to research and deployment of renewables, efficiency, transmission, but will in addition use part of the military budget and its top-notch R&D scientists to the gain of alternative energy and make reducing oil use a matter of national security. I think this is the only way that such an issue can be addressed seriously and quickly in the US, by making it a matter of national security.

Cudos to Obama and his advisors, this is very good policy that will make the US a leader instead of a hinderance to solving global warming.
