Barack Obama and his legislators are preparing to take action against global warming by cutting emissions and pollution. The elected American president is preparing two new bills that will encourage the use of renewable energies in the country. The two bills will be introduced as soon as Obama takes office in January, in the hope to kick-start his position on the environment.

The first bill will provide over ten billion pounds to encourage the advance in renewable energy in place of the polluting energy sources used today. The second bill will begin the set-up of a system of tradable emission permits used to fight against global warming. Barack Obama has already started on his green campaign by planning the creation of future green jobs. The elected president hopes to create 2.5 million new jobs by building wind farms, making new green vehicles, manufacturing solar panels and modernising much of the country’s infrastructure.

The two new energy bills are expected to get passed very quickly, as the need for action is now immense. Plans to develop carbon capture and storage facilities to remove emissions are also in order. Obama wishes to reduce carbon emissions to the same levels as were present in the 90′s, and he wishes to do this by 2020.
