Wasting no time before his inauguration in January, President-Elect Obama addressed the country today with a YouTube video that outlines his plans to rescue the ailing US economy.  Included in his address was a plan to invest 150 billion dollars to “build an American green energy economy that will create 5 million new jobs”.  This certainly paints a bright future for companies banking their success on such initiatives, and comes at a time when many people have been speculating about the future of emerging green businesses.
