Prometheus Institute: Renewables Likely to Represent 90% of New Capacity by 2012

You guys are right. We should just give up trying to produce our own energy and keep buying from overseas. It's worked so far. It couldn't eventually help destroy the value of the dollar and cause near hyper inflation to just leave things as they are.

Obama's Green Obsession: More Harm Than Good?

While we would agree with the "ignorant politicians" statement, it appears to us those that disparage building out alternative energy are equally ignorant. Given that oil reserves are roughly flat or declining, natural gas will be there this half the century and coal hasn't achieved clean status yet, it would seem that seeding alternative energy given it's scientific advances makes much long term sense with a short term stimulus to employment. While we respectfully understand the economists points, we humbly disagree with some of the factual assumptions and think the "Austrian" school needs some detention time given their role once again in a major international financial crisis.
