Good post Susan:
This is why the US is destined to become an also ran in the race to develop a totally sustainable, environmentally “sane” energy paradigm. Our politicians have NO clear plan on the best way to proceed. We need to provide energy on a daily basis but should be critically focused on the future. They allow the “National Debt” to cloud their thinking and behave in a schizophrenic manner. They provide some funding for renewable energy while still subsidizing coal and oil which keeps the cost for them unrealistically low. That in turn makes moving to renewable projects more difficult to get off the ground. {Make no mistake here children, moving beyond and away from fossil fuels IS NOT an option. We are killing ourselves needlessly while we allow shallow minds to continue business as usual} It’s no wonder that the government can’t seem to get spending under control. I won’t more than mention insane wars, but will point out that after decades of knowing that tobacco kills the government spends money to get people to quit smoking while STILL subsidizing the growing of tobacco. Brings to mind the biblical adage “a house divided cannot stand”. I think I’ll go throw-up now.
