"The Obama administration is actively developing alternative energy sources." Chu said tonight that they have already allocated 80B in the stim bill. I'm not sure if that includes programs like Cash for Clunkers and Appliances. In addition, there is the promise of more if the climate bill gets passed. 80B sounds like a lot of money, especially to the Tea Party. Peakers would like it to be 800B. I'll bet we haven't spent 8B since Carter left office, and maybe not even then. All I ever hear is criticism of Carter but he knew what he was doing. I had no idea he started the Energy Dept. If only we had followed through instead of doing nothing. And you have to hand to the guy.....he kept plugging along even as they laugh at him.
