No Matter Who's Elected, Alternative Energy Wins

Would we have gone to the moon without government involvement? Highly unlikely that any private firm would have undertaken such a project with little chance of profit. The Democrats understand thereis a role for government in projects of this magnitude. The Republicans want to "privatize" everything in site. Thus a Democratic administration will be much more likely to launch an Apollo-like mission to restructure our energy policies around renewable, non-carbon based sources, while the Republicans are much more likely to want the government out of the project, and expect private industry to change our energy structure without government involvement. With the Oil and Coal Companies dominating the current energy policies, moving to renewable sources is MUCH less likely to happen.
