America's energy "problem" |
quote | Frank M. Currie
- "...there's not an 'energy problem'. There's more energy readily available to us than we could use over many foreseeable futures. The Sun's got something like 5 billion good years left in it while things like oil
have, arguably, fifty. Maybe coal will go for another 100-200 years. No, there's no energy problem - there's a will problem. We - collectively - and in spite of entrenched traditional views and interests, need to choose to get and use energy more responsibly. We don't need to live in third world villages to have a clean planet."
UPDATE 14 march 04 | Asserting that use of so-called "alternative" energy sources are not pie-in-the sky, the Taipei Times reports about General Electric's buy out of bankrupted AstroPower corporation's assets and debt, may be a harbinger of profits down the road for this resource | This purchase has not been the first solar power resources for GE, which follows in the steps of another petrol giant BP, which has been promoting solar energy development more agressively for some years now |
My question is, when do these beheomoths plan on sharing their wealth by making it available to consumers at affordable prices? ¶ 11:22
