It's called the Apollo Project and it could change the future of the United States. A space mission? Not quite, although its scope could be just as revolutionary. This project was one of the flagships of President Obama's election campaign, and aspires to free the US from its dependence on oil. But what does it consist of? The heart of the Apollo Project is the creation of a Green Bank, capable of raising funds and ideas for the development of solutions based on alternative sources of energy.

Is called "Apollo Project”And could change the future of the United States. A space mission? Not quite, although its scope could be just as revolutionary. This project was one of the flagships of the president's election campaign Obama, and aspires to free the US from addiction to Petroleum. But what does it consist of? The heart of the Apollo Project is the creation of a "Green Bank“, Capable of raising funds and ideas for the development of solutions based on alternative energy sources.
As Jake Caldweell revealed on the pages of the website of the Center for American Progress, with an initial capital of 7,5 billion dollars, such a bank would be able to create 3-4 gigawatts of clean energy per year, while with 50 it would be a real green revolution: to be clear, almost 23 million vehicles could use alternative energy, instead of petrol, with a saving of 642 million barrels of oil year.
But the Green Bank could also act as a driving force for the revival of the US economy, a possible solution to the economic crisis that is bending the United States, and which, as it was for the crisis of '29, would constitute a sort of "New Deal". On the one hand he would create new and numerous jobs, on the other hand, would free America from the need for Middle Eastern oil, since the energy requirements would be totally based on renewable energy. And it would also relaunch the figure of the Nobel Prize in the last period in the crosshairs of environmentalists and Americans disappointed by the promises of the President. Not to mention the political consequences that such a solution could provoke. A dream? Today it is, but perhaps it could be realized, since there are, unfortunately or fortunately (you choose), private interests at stake. Obama like Roosevelt?
