The promise of clean energy is there. It is possible but lots of R&D still needs to be done. Other countries know this and are heavily invested in green energy. Only the United states is falling behind.

How are we "falling behind"? I already showed you the technology is there and has been for decades.
It's just too damn expensive.
Maybe other countries have rich citizens that can afford to put solar power on their homes? But not here in the U.S. People are barely getting by.
As I said earlier....instead of politicians giving away 2 TRILLION dollars to banks, they COULD have installed solar on every home and business in the United States and instantly created jobs and made the green energy industry profitable by paying them to DO something.
Instead, Obama hands hundreds of millions of tax dollars to "Green" companies that never actually do anything but pay themselves big salaries and then declare bankruptcy.
Maybe if Solyndra had been paid to WORK...by putting solar up on homes and businesses then we would have gotten something for our money.
That's why I keep saying that all signs point to this being a money scam. The govt. just doesn't seem to be serious about it at all.
And I keep hearing about how other govt.'s take it so seriously. Really? Then what have they DONE. Nothing. Nothing that changes anything. Just talk, and ways to siphon off more money.
As for China, and their big advancements in "Green Energy". Well, they are one of the worst polluting countries on the freakin' planet. If they are so far ahead of us on it and "Green Energy" works so good...then why don't they use it???
