  • Solar Power Will Be Transformational in the Next Decade [View article]
    "...Although the US isn't among them, quite a few countries are aiming for the vast majority of their electricity to be renewably-generated, and several countries are well on their way (Germany and Spain come to mind)..."

    In June, 1979, President Jimmy Carter proposed a “new solar strategy” to “move our Nation toward true energy security and abundant, readily available energy supplies.”

    Carter installed solar hot water panels on the roof of the White House to heat water for the staff mess and other areas of the White House.

    In 1981, Ronald Reagan ordered the solar panels that Carter had installed on the White House roof torn off.

    Reagan rolled back fuel standards for automobiles.

    Reagan killed federal wind and solar power incentives.

    Reagan's efforts fueled the current oil addiction that has us, in the words of Robert F. Kennedy JR
    "acting like a crack-house junkie rolling old ladies for drug money".

    Want to know why we're paying $3.556 (AAA national average) for gas?

    Want to know why the United States is behind Germany and Spain in solar power?

    Want to know why we're paying $3 Trillion dollars in order to control Iraq's oil spigot?

    Actions have consequences.

    When will they admit they were wrong?

    NEVER, EVER, EVER...not now, not ever.
