Really? And you are differant from Kookybill how?
Solar energy is going to be a trillion dollar market and will create hundreds of thousands of jobs. The Chinese are poised to capture that market. We should not ignore it.
Then why are the Chinese currently building a power infrastructure of hydro, coal, and nuclear powered plants? Maybe the Chinese know when the sun goes down, people still want to use electricity (and there are not enough batteries in the country to support one city through an entire night). Spain did this; they invested BAM in solar energy, now they are going broke with not to much to show for it. Don't be a sucker. Until there are some real advancement made, coal and nuclear power in the least expensive and most efficient. If you want your energy bill to triple (or more), then support the non-leader in DC.
Just where do you get your information at? China is becoming the world leader in alternative energy.
Is this enough or do you need more? I pay attention to industry (where are GE's turbines going), I read other stuff besides Huffpo, and I know how to do a search. Why can't you find the same stuff?
Report: China trounces U.S. in clean energy - Mar. 25, 2010
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- China overtook the United States in renewable energy investments for the first time ever in 2009, attracting nearly twice as many dollars and becoming the world's largest market for clean energy projects.
Renewable energy investments in China - mostly wind farms - totaled $34.6 billion in 2009, according to report released Thursday by the Pew Charitable Trusts and Bloomberg New Energy Finance. In the United States, $18.6 billion was spent.
The report's authors stressed it was the stable, long-term policies put forth by the Chinese government and easier access to credit that attracted the money, and said the numbers do not bode well for America.

Entrance to a small coal mine in China.
A coal shipment underway in China.
An operating power plant in China.The People's Republic of China is the largest consumer of coal in the world,[1] and is about to become the largest user of coal-derived electricity, generating 1.95 trillion kilowatt-hours per year, or 68.7% of its electricity from coal as of 2006 (compared to 1.99 trillion kilowatt-hours per year, or 49% for the US).[2][3] Hydroelectric power supplied another 20.7% of China's electricity needs in 2006. With approximately 13 percent of the world's proven reserves, China has enough coal to sustain its economic growth for a century or more even though demand is currently outpacing production.[4] China's coal mining industry is the deadliest in the world and has the world's worst safety record[5] where an average of 13 people die every day in the coal pits, compared to 30 per year for coal power in the United States.[6] Coal production rose 8.1% in 2006 over the previous year, reaching 2.38 billion tons, and the nation's largest coal enterprises saw their profits exceed 67 billion yuan, or $8.75 billion.[7]
Concept:China's Coal Power Pollution
Through China's use of coal, it is the largest greenhouse gases emitter in the world. The negative pollution impacts from coal on China's farming could increase the demand for agricultural imports and hinder Chinese foodstuff exports. The energy demand from China's continued rapid industrialization augurs no end in sight to this trend, however this may create market opportunities for manufacturers of cleaner power generation equipment and vehicles.

Nuclear Power in China
(Updated 2 July 2010)
Mainland China has 11 nuclear power reactors in commercial operation, 23 under construction, and more about to start construction soon.
Additional reactors are planned, including some of the world's most advanced, to give more than a tenfold increase in nuclear capacity to 80 GWe by 2020, 200 GWe by 2030, and 400 GWe by 2050.
China is rapidly becoming self-sufficient in reactor design and construction, as well as other aspects of the fuel cycle.
He tries so hard. Has the concentration of a fruit fly..
How'd ya like to ride along with him on a cross country road trip?
My money says he gets lost ten times and loses his car keys..then his car. Has to take a train a hundred miles from start of trip..
Now this is what I'm talking about.Not a comparison Gracie. The Government is tasked to build roads Constitutionally.
The Government is trying to force something that is not economically feasible at this point regarding 'Green Energy'. Oil will be with us for the forseeable future. There's no getting around it.
And these 'Green Technologies will come about from the private sector as most invention does due to incentive, not because the Government forces it on the populace or else. That's just Government in thier control mode at the behest of thier whacko masters that hate this nation anyway.
The key is to drive the cost of wind & solar down without that stupid carbon cap & trade law that will only drive up the total cost of energy. It looks like we are at or near that threshold now. I will know more once I get mine installed. Just think of all the people with savings accounts earning less than 10% interest. If they all took that money & invested in their own wind or solar system it would pay them back more than that plus drive down cost for everyone fueling a sustainable recovery. If the payback period on this stuff is really 7 years then we are there.
Exactly. And that's what I meant by Incentive. it has to come from the private sector, and their willingness to adopt such things. It has happened many times in our history through private innovation, invention.
One notable transition was from horses and buggies to the automobile.
You are correct. The Government being in the way will make matters worse.
A surfeit of wind energy is pushing down the price of all electricity. The real time price of electricity in West Texas, where almost all generation is wind, was negative for 23% of April 2009. The negative prices spilled over to the rest of Texas for about 1% of the month. This may be the future of the electric industry, with negative prices for a substantial amount of time each month...
...Until recently the ERCOT procedure was to actually tell generators in the West market area to dump wind. The wind generators apparently were unhappy with the command and control attitude of ERCOT and sought an economic approach. The current ERCOT approach allows generators in the West market area to bid for access to the transmission lines connecting the West market area to the rest of ERCOT. At least that was effectively the situation for 23% of the time in April 2009. During 664 of the quarter hour periods in April 2009, the price for generation in the West market area was less than zero, with generators paying for the right to dump electricity into the grid. During 28 of those quarter hour periods the negative prices spilled over to other parts of ERCOT.
