It is quite surprising that the US is so much behind Europe and now, even China in clean energy development.

Very strange that while even dictatorships recognize the danger and turn to the right direction plus work for a solution, the biggest democracy on Earth cannot get their act together and stop polluting.

If you look at the cost of solar and wind over the past few years. You see a continuious reduction in the cost of producing a MwH. With the way things are going renewable energy is going to end up costing $10 USD per Mwh in china. With energy in the US costing $100 USD per Mwh because we haven’t switched over to more cost effective methods of energy production. This puts the US at a serious disadvantage. Half the cost of any durable good is energy.

This doesn’t bode well for US corporations, or the people of the US.
