It's hell trying to be positive with solutions on this thread ("For God's sake you have to CLEAN the solar panels!!!"). As long as you stay negative it's much harder for these folks to take their cheap shots.

John, its rather remarkable how some people see alternative fuels and conservation as some ugly conspiracy that must be resisted at all costs. It plays right into the attitudes of those corporate leaders who have an investment in maintaining the status quo.

Originally, I said that we need to get focused and develop alternative fuels that are economical. One of the reasons that focus is not happening is because people would rather resist vs push for the change. That leads to our dependence and subsequent involvement in the affairs of countries whose internal affairs are pretty much in disarray. We end up spending billions fighting a war in Iraq when we could be spending billions on research to develop alternative fuels. Where is the logic?

In many cases, those very same people don't seem to see the connection between tax cuts and budget deficits and a weak economy.
