I welcome alternative energy especially if it can be done safe and relatively cheap. The problem with green energy isn't the goal.... its they have no realistic goal to achieve. Yes, over the next few hundred years humans will have to find better solutions but its not something we need to pay billionaires to subsidize products which are basically fraudulent. Its about tax credit, giving money to people, etc. Its a fraud.

The danger inherent in our politicization of this issue is that someone somewhere in the world is, as we speak, working on the solution, probably with unlimited state sponsored funding freed up by our policing of the world, which will find the correct formula and they will be at an extreme competitive advantage in the race to lower energy costs...real and true energy costs, not simply the price at the pump and the price per KWh.

Both sides of the issue are crippling our collective effort...the fossil fuel lobby is adamant it ain't happening, the green energy environmental lobby is adamant that the only way to achieve any kind of change is to make fossil fuels to expensive to use without a viable alternative in place. Meanwhile we provide global security and safe markets for goods manufactured around the world, not to mention safe passage of those goods, and our competitors are working day and night solving the cheaper energy equation with funding they are free to use for such research because they don't foot the bill for their own security alone and without you and subsidizing those costs for them.

When we decided to go to the moon in this country we did it...man kind had only dreamt of doing it a few years until we actually did it....we have the resources and the people in this country who can solve the energy question but we allow politics and special interests hobble our success. Meanwhile our competitors, subsidized by you and I, are not above strapping scientists and engineers to the yoke and not releasing them until the solve the equation and starving entire portions of their citizenry in the process, spending money on gaining a competitive advantage. If we do not stand together we will surely hand separately....metaphorically speaking of course.
