Obama and Captain Planet Team up!

Despite his clear lack of motivational umph, there was enough gas in President Obama's recent State of the Union address to spark my attention. The enthusiastic goal to reach 80% clean energy production by 2035 is, to say the least, ambitious. The research and technology required to attain this goal have only recently been conceived, not to mention the billions of dollars that is needed to execute the project may not yet exist. CNET claims that the Obama administration has vowed significant funds to researching methods of clean energy and the construction of clean energy plants. So where is this funding coming from?

As gas prices continue to steadily increase, electric bills keep getting longer. Instead of finding ways to produce more, Obama is searching for better. So does better ⇒ more, or will the energy thief continue to burn holes through our wallets? Unfortunately, gratification will not be immediate. But like all good investments, there will be payoff in the end.

Proof: Cleaner Fuel ⇒ More Energy

1. cleaner fuel ⇒ cleaner environment

2. cleaner environment ⇒ government money allocated to other areas

3. By modus ponens on 1 & 2: cleaner fuel ⇒ government money allocated to other areas

4. government money allocated to other areas ⇒ more R&D for clean energy solutions

5. By modus ponens on 3&4: cleaner fuel ⇒ more R&D for clean energy solutions

6. more R&D for clean energy solutions ⇒ more energy

∴ by modus ponens on 5 & 6 Cleaner Fuel ⇒ More Energy

Thanks Obama for making this world a better place! Captain Planet is proud!
