The timing couldn’t be worse, American iconic legends from Detroit’s Big Three to small town governments are asking for a hand out, the bailout business is booming. Al Gore is asking for public support to build a national grid fed by renewable energy streams, to power America and ween the population from fossil fuel dependency. The national grid could pay for itself in less than four years, to the tune of $400 billion, since it currently costs $120 billion per year to stoke the coal fired and natural gas driven turbines to power all our gadgets and keep the midnight oil burning. If we can send the proverbial man to the moon in ten years we can certainly have energy independence and cleaner skies in less than a decade, to do so we must all pitch in together and send foreign oil where it belongs and get plugged in Gore’s green grid. Can we afford not to?
