Of course the other thing your post points out, although most likely not intentionally, is the sad attitude of many Americans. You make up all sorts of excuses as to why progress cannot be made, or why things cannot get done. The United States has had the largest economy in the world for over a century, it has an abundance of natural resources, and over the past two centuries been a world leader in innovation. So you are sitting here telling me that the richest, most innovative nation on earth cannot develop viable clean energy sources when nations with just a sliver of resources have been doing so for decades?! What a sad commentary about the so-called "greatest nation on earth".
