Great piece Susan:
Allow me to suggest why the Chinese are addressing the need to transition toward renewable-sustainable energy and why they do “Capitalism” better than we capitalists.
Blood over Money: Even though the Chinese State Owns most of China’s industry they are a mostly genetically homogenous group (at least compared to other large countries) and consequently are more concerned with the welfare of their people than are corporations here in the states. Wind and solar do not lend themselves to “concentration of supply” making exploitation by small groups difficult. That’s mainly why we see “Capitalism” here in the US resisting a serious transition to non-fossil fuels as it dilutes their power to generate income. When a country sees itself as a family it makes it easier to make sound decisions concerning something as important as energy production and environmental responsibility. The Chinese aren’t perfect but they will give us all the rope that we need to hang ourselves and hang ourselves we will unless we take your advice and force congress to address this overriding issue of an energy policy that looks to save us all rather than saving the income of a few.

Ed

They and the rest of the world are embracing anything that would save oil to produce electricity, it is only US that are permanently restricted to do very little towards that same effort, tha Pickens plan was a great plan and
was brought up 3 years ago, have anybody realized how many barrels of oil we would have saved already had we had implemented it at least 6 months later???
I feel like we are doomed to continue to send our money to America haters.
