Bump.
If we can get cheap wind, solar, hydro, and NUKE going in a big way, we have clean air, and no oil from the middle east or Venezuela. How much has the Iraq war cost us now? Just think if we plowed $500 billion into tax credits, university supported research into alternative fuels instead? American companies would own the patents, we would sell them to the cheese eating surrender monkeys and old Europe while the middle east went back to camel riding. Our air would be cleaner, we would create a ton of jobs building these new techs, support jobs, you name it. Liberals would love the clean air, conservatives would love not having to deal with the islamists, win win all around.
We also have the new bulbs that can cut our energy costs by 10% if we all switched. 22% of energy bills are lighting. We need to ditch the old bulbs. Each one we buy means more money for the terrorists. Seriously. They get funded by energy money.
Good post, I agree. Lets drill, build the plants and new refineries, put up the windmills, solar panels, hydro etc and let's let the ME eat it.
Bttt! Great post.
Maybe conservation is a virtue... and good for national security, too. Alert the VP.
