The babysitter argument just doesn’t cut it. If you can’t do anything to make it cost-effective, too, then it’s hardly “innovative”.

I don’t sympathize with the Republican point of view in the least, since they are the last to stand by the middle class (in reality), and they offer no real solutions. But the cost of investing in alternative energy is still extremely high right now, and unless heavily focus on cost-effective means like algae, and move away from expensive means such as hydrogen, we’re never going to get there.

Also, we should remove subsidies to oil companies and transfer them to alternative energy companies…

“If you had a child molester in your neighborhood who’s offering babysitting for $7 per hour, and then a nice girl named Betty comes and says she charges $10 per hour, are you going to say, ’sorry Betty, he only charges $7′.”

Right on. That hits it home.
