There's 3 really big problems with this plan.
  1. Most of the growth comes in Nuclear. Yet Obama tried to shut down the nuclear storage site. There is only one reactor being built in the U.S. and it was approved in 2007. He's talking up nuclear while doing nothing about it.
  2. There's only 10% growth in power generation in 20 years!!! How are we supposed to have economic growth with no additional power? It's not going to happen! Any reasonable plan should be projecting an doubling of power requirements in 20 years.
  3. Cap and Trade is going to be an enormous tax on the economy. While Obama blocks the only feasible source of real growth which is nuclear. Instead of powering up or even staying neutral, we'll be powering down. We'll be powering down our businesses, our homes, the entire economy. While 'rats get rich of their evil green power scheme.

Not only does it project most growth in nuclear, which isn't being developed as you say, but it isn't even double present nuclear output. They don't project much total increase in power production at all.

The plan seems to be to spend loads on altering electricity production while remaining near current output levels. I guess Winning the Future means freeze framing the country as it is now. Stagnation Nation!
