President-elect Barack Obama made environmental initiatives one of the most important part of his successful campaign.

In preparing for his first 100 days, there are several indications of where energy policy will take him. The campaign's video outlines his goals in broad (and somewhat vague) terms. Obama is more specific in his plan's outline, which can be found on the Energy page of his site.

Obama's presidency promises more economic opportunity for green businesses than any in history; it remains to be seen what deflated oil prices will do to the general public's opinion of green initiatives.
