Look at it this way. Green energy cost 2x - 5x current price. The economy must shrink somewhere to cover this added cost or the number of people must increase to maintain gdp. where do you want to be on this? Energy Investment will increase population, cost of living, competition, and instability, invest in guns not butter! More guns more killing lower population more stability?

I won't say we are standing still but we certainly are not leading in the key industry of the next, at least, 20 years. Listen.. don't misunderstand me.. I would LOVE to see alternative fuels replace fossil.. I just want it to be economically competitive so that productivity is either enhanced, or at least consistent. Personally, from what I'm seeing, I think the US is ahead in more pragmatic vehicles such as PHEVs (Volt and Fisker Karma), but we have to get the economic right. And we certainly seem to be ahead in Thin Film Solar (FSLR and NanoSolar.. etc). Hawk
