Green Energy

   For less than half the cost of the war in Iraq the U.S. could be energy independent.  It's true.  Scientist at the National Renewables Energies Laboratory (NREL) did the math.  For 1 trillion dollars the US could be using alternative energy for everything from cars to homes.  The energy problem goes hand in hand with the war problem.  If we solve one we solve the other.  How do we get those in power to see the light, that this war will eventually lead to their destruction. 

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) just won the Nobel Peace Prize for a  report that says that we have to reduce emissions to 1990 levels by 2015, and we have to be on our way by 2012 if we don't want temperatures to rise by 6 degrees Celcius by the end of the century.  We really need to figure a way to overcome political hurdles that stand in our way of an energy independent green energy society and world.
