I saw this great report on NBC Nightly News about this company that makes flexible solar roofing.
Their income doubled in the last year. Their name is United Solar Ovonic.
Here's a link to their website....
United Solar Ovonic
We have a wind corridor that runs from Texas to the Canadian border. We have a solar corridor in the American Southwest. Every new house in America should have fexible solar panels. We have the technology. It could be done very easily.
What if the $800 billion we wasted in Iraq had been spent on clean energy? We would be well on our way to American energy independence.
Wind farm - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I think the wind corridor must extend through Virginai Beach.
You don't seem to realize that to convert to these alternative forms, TRILLIONS are needed:
"If America wants a green energy economy, it is going to have to spend. And spend. And spend like never before. President Obamas plan to designate $15 billion a year over 10 years will barely scratch the surface of what is needed. If America wants an energy revolution, taxpayers are going to have to pay and pay and pay, because trillions of dollars worth of energy infrastructure in America will need to be phased out and replaced. "
So let's get started.

They had a big project like that planned in the New England states, what happened to it ? .....

That fat idiot Ted Kennedy opposed it.

It didn't get done because ONE guy opposed it ?
Isn't he a liberal lion and a champion of the democratic party ?

And one source that many forget about:
Cars that run on Compressed Air.
The Danes already get 20% of their energy from wind power. The Israelis are building one solar power plant which will supply 5% of their energy needs. The Germans are building homes that are so well insulated that they don't require a furnace. It can be done. All that is requred is the political will. Are the Danes smarter than us?
Tree-hugger alert:
The nation that leads the world in wind-farm development is going cool on the environmentally friendly source of power.
Since the boom year of 2000, when as many as 748 turbines were erected, the number being built in Denmark has steadily fallen. So far this year, only six new wind turbines have been put up.

Chris, your left wing socialist nut buddies would have all your answers to getting off foriegn oil in the courts for years to come. You name it, their against it, and have highly paid lobbists to do their work. Also, you have your left wing socialist nut buddies that are judges to make sure it doesn't happen. Chris, and rockhead, you want liberalism to run America? Well here you are, welcome to the politics that you cherish.
What we do need to do is start opening up areas to drill for oil. We need to get rid of the regulations that say no more refineries. We have enough here to make ourselves energy independent. That and clean coal. One thing to remember, we're going to need oil for a very long, long time, Chris. That is a fact, but your ultra liberal buddies say no. These are the people you worship Chris. By the way Chris, remember the "what if?" It's kinda like "What if my Grandmother had balls." Get rid of "what if" Chris, that's juvenile.
Blah, blah, blah, liberal bad, let's drill, ect.....
What we need to do is provide tax advantages for green energy.
Green energy is made in America. Wind, solar, conservation, etc...are all American.

i have lived in danmark and seen the wind farms......you do know how big danmark is and how big their windframe is.....
i tell you what obama could do....he could give every owner occupied homeowner 30k to put solar panels on their roof.....that would take all those homes off the grid saving tons of carbon based energy and create a bunch of jobs, saving the homeowners thousands etc.....
the down side is a bunch of carbon based companies would loose a bunch of money and lay off a bunch of people.....
bummer....
Renewable energy, wind power is not renewable and is one of the most polluting energies that exsist
Same goes for geothermal, even more polluting than wind.
Solar I have not researched much other than the amount of land needed does not exsist.

It wouldn't even cost $30k for the average home. As far as people losing their job because of new technology go read some Ayn Rand.... it's about the only good point she makes. You can't stand in the way of progress just because of potential job loss.
As far as renewable energy, it only makes sense. I've done the math myself, a roof top wind turbine installed will set me back about $12000. That cost is recovered in 4-5 years because I wont have an electric bill anymore. It's an investment. After the recovery time I'm ahead every month. Even as energy cost inflates in the future, I will be saving money.

So, your electric bill is about $3000/ year?
And what happens when that 90 mph wind rips the turbine and roof off the house?
And what is the lifetime of the turbine?
Get back to me after you try it.
