IMHO, unless we want to freeze to death in the dark with nothing to eat, we should go with the energy we have while the green energy comes of age.

I can't think of a better way to kill a recovery than to raise the rates on energy consumption. Get America back to work and perhaps then we can afford to deal with some of our other problems.

The "green energy" will never come of age unless we keep pressure on people to make it happen. It has to become less economically viable to burn fossil fuels, and more economically viable to use green energy. It's called "incentive".

And this coming from a guy who drives nothing but gas guzzing V8 hotrods.....But has the sense to know what needs to be done, even if I'm not very good about doing it myself.
