		<description><![CDATA[It appears I stepped on some toes.. sorry. but had not the USA supplied the Marshall Plan, and Berlin Airlift this world would be a different place. But we shall never know. the importance of the statement is



&quot;guess the bad for us comment was overlooked.&quot;



given that our industry supplied and did profit, why would those in charge change, why is our steel industry not strong? Basically becaused we priced ourselfs out of it, and all were guilty, labor and management. Also Europe or Germany does have great talent. But should we go the way of France with Nuclear? does not seem to be popular.



Wind, Thermal, solar all were tried to varying degrees over the years, (most still in use) all with support of tax breaks voted on by congress each term.. makes for a good long term investment..(not)  tax loses for those whom invested, which is what some wanted. Go to California and check the age of things. Look up PGE test in Solano on a http://www.telosnet.com/wind/govprog.html,



In California, over 17,000 machines, ranging in output from 20 to 350 kilowatts, were installed in wind farms between 1981 and 1990. http://www.telosnet.com/wind/recent.html So how many windmils are in Iowa? course it is not number but generating capacity and transmission



In Washington State, hydroelectric power is not considered to be green or renewable by a state inniative, thus whom is to say what is renewable?



So as far as manufacturing in the USA various componets for Windmills, it shoudl be pointed out that too many organizations and permits can prevent industry. Also cost of labor, materails, siting need be considered. Though now people finally relize that manufacturing is not a dirty word.



Standards should be set as mention prior, but please no embarassment in buying second hand if it works. also if my neighbors allow me to put it up. But the real kicker is how do you transmit all that power and not lose half of it?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am not quite sure what Steven is trying to say, I guess that you meant to say &quot;...today without the USA’s help...&quot;.  If so I find all these comparisons rather silly since Europe was not exactly a technological backwater before the ally powers victory in the war.  Also the US profited on both sides of the war i.e. selling goods to both sides at one point or another; and then through rebuilding contracts, materials, reparations, acquisition of prime pieces of real-estate, etc...after wars end.



I am on board with Russ in that standards are needed and are always a good thing that makes life easier for all.  However, I would also add some incentive for the adoption of alternative energy in the near term.  We just need to stay away from trying to pick the winning technology at a national level as we did with ethanol.]]></description>

I am on board with Russ in that standards are needed and are always a good thing that makes life easier for all.  However, I would also add some incentive for the adoption of alternative energy in the near term.  We just need to stay away from trying to pick the winning technology at a national level as we did with ethanol.]]></description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am not quite sure what Steven is trying to say, I guess that you meant to say &#8220;&#8230;today without the USA’s help&#8230;&#8221;.  If so I find all these comparisons rather silly since Europe was not exactly a technological backwater before the ally powers victory in the war.  Also the US profited on both sides of the war i.e. selling goods to both sides at one point or another; and then through rebuilding contracts, materials, reparations, acquisition of prime pieces of real-estate, etc&#8230;after wars end.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[The last part of the article is not necessary. Further it should be stated that Europe would not be where it is today with the USA&#039;s help after World War II.  This was great for them and bad for us in the world today as we supplied all with the materials to rebuild as our factories were still intact.

The downside was that we didn&#039;t maintain, or optimize and than fought with the greens and have legislated ourselves out of being productive. If the US government wanted to print more monies we could be there, as relatives in Germany tell me they have a 20 year contract to deliver power at a set rate. Taking that to the bank they got the loan to build their power generating station on their farm.



Of course the same greens whom complain in the USA would not allow wind machines in their back yard as it may obstruct their view.]]></description>

In addition to resources, I think laws shape nations. Literally even. We Americans are fat because of farm subsidies. Our mortgage deduction led to McMansions.



So I think signing on to Kyoto in 1999 set Europe on a trajectory that has them now ten years ahead of the US in renewables.]]></description>
