Renewable energy - the wave of the future


I agree with your argument that our future is in renewable energy. We need to jump on the bandwagon but in a big way. We should have been more heavily invested in renewable energy a long time ago. I don't like the idea that we are behind China and Europe on this concept. This is a problem if we want to be the greatest power on Earth. It seems that we just keep going more into debt and China keeps gaining ground.  What baffles me is that we are willing to spend millions and billions of dollars on going to the moon just to be number one. We also spend trillions of dollars on fighting an oil war in Iraq. So why are we not focused on fighting the renewable energy battle?  The problem is that the politicians that are in office don't see the results of their money spent if they focus on renewable energy. This is a process that takes years and years of money and research. The politicians will be out of office before there are any results.   
I agree with you that states need to come together and government needs to allow renewable projects to happen. I also agree with your comment that it will create alot of jobs and would be great for our economy.  Now we just need to get Congress on board. If Congress thought less on staying in office and more on the people they are supposed to be serving, renewable energy could be our future. I also would have like to seen more on what you think should be done and how you feel about it. Not just the author.I do like how you mentioned that we needed to go green "for survival of the fittest" as country. Renewable energy
