I care

I care because it seems obvious to me that the intelligent course of action for a nation with energy issues is to invest in the various abundant and clean energy sources available now. Energy sources without hidden costs. The amount of money used to prop up petroleum and nuclear power can easily be channelled into streamlining solar power, wind power, tidal power etc. Thank goodness that the solar revolution is happening at all but it and others have the potential to become widespread realities at a much faster rate. Imagine a world with solar panels all around the world. Energy grids have the potential to make war obsolete. Money diverted from the warhoggers can be used to develop and implement a vast myriad of energy sources. New battery technologies alone can change the world as we know it. (one example of new battery technology) There are countless others. The energy revolution is a grassroots phenomenon. I suspenct the more decentalized it is the better off we all will be.
