Lots of plans, just waiting for a Can Do person to take charge.

how many solar panels and windmills could the trillion or so dollars we have spent in Iraq have built?

Based on Congressman John Murtha's daily cost figures of the Iraq War, here's how many homes could be electrified with solar:

For the annual cost of the Iraq War ($343,000,000 per day / $125,000,000,000 per year), 3,557,000 homes could be electrified with 4kW solar electric systems each year, or 9,800 per day installed, free. And if people paid for them on 15 year payment plans, millions more could be financed.

re oil usage......it would seem that the laws of demand and usage will negate increased productions and efficiencies unless fiscal action is implemented to reduce needless waste in...among other things.

that means more taxes if one wants a real energy independence policy..JMHO

Haven't you figured out yet that the Left has become numerically illiterate, and runs on feelings? They'll throw some numbers out there, any numbers will do. Feeling good about yourself is what really matters.
