- We should have looked ahead but we didn''t thats for sure. But to blame this on Reagan... unrerealistic. And to glorify Carter.. the one who said we could not defeat communism in russia, the commie weakling sypathzer that now goes around the world commiting treason... dont make me puke.

- OK, so he was supposed to use "Chinese serfs" when we were in a cold war with communism. How does that make sense?

- The "PLANNERS" be killing me.
The only reason why we haven''t had solar power already is because of the Venetian Mafia principal "pay for security".
Reagan could of used serfs from China to manufacture over 100,000,000 solar panels to make sure that every house was self-sufficient with its own power supply and no power bills.
However he chose to continue the trickle-down voodoo economic theories of failure and dependence and made sure that Americans remain in debt to power companies controlled by Wall Street.
For many of you Republicans this is your beloved Ronny who saw an opportunity to enrich his British pals instead of listening to a true patriot in Jimmy Carter who this nation to go with alternative energy.

- I worked for a company in Albuquerque NM years ago that contracted to the Sandia Labs Solar Tower Project. Solar has been around a very long time.

- JTait2....What a list of lies! You have shown yourself to be totally clueless and thus your post goes right into the circular file. It''s people like you who make it nearly impossible for normal voters to obtain the facts they need to make an intelligent voting decision. You must be a graduate student at the Rush Limbaugh University of *********.

- If the rich Republican a-holes had listened to Jimmy Carter 30 years ago, instead of mocking him and trying to make him look foolish, America would today be the great country it was then. We have since fallen into poverty and disgrace with the so-called GOP leading the way, with our rich-owned media right there for every assist! We need to first deport (or worse) the worthless b*st*rds like ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, FOX, and all the other complicit ***''s who helped Bush and his party wreck what was once the greatest nation in history.

- i don''t think we should wait for the government to figure this out for us...a person could do some simple research and build their own solar panels...maybe we COULD get local, state or federal tax breaks for creating our own energy...every problem we wait for "the government" to solve, never gets solved...this happens over and over and over and...we keep taking it. so, we need to be more self-reliant and figure some things out for ourselves...see the less we consume the fewer the profits for corporations...local, local...state, state...very limited government! and paying attention to what''s going on around us...an informed public makes good republics...start reading jefferson peoples!

Congress said cars had to meet mileage standards. SUV''s aren''t cars, they''re trucks, cuz they''re on truck beds. With plenty of money from the auto industry, Congress winked at this legal maneuver, and did nothing to close it. I think it was a Republican Congress at the time, but undoubtedly they all take bribes. Until lobbying is stopped, such scandals will continue. - Reply to this comment

And it''s not the president''s job to keep car makers from creating what people want. - Reply to this comment
- We keep hearing that alternative energy sources will take about 10 years to develop.
Which means the development should have started about 10 years ago to be available today when we need them.
WHO WAS PRESIDENT 10 YEARS AGO???
Too bad he had NO LEADERSHIP... - Reply to this comment

The Hummer became a popular civilian vehicle on THE CLINTONS'' WATCH.
What did they do to stop it? Did they warn people to stop driving such excessively large personal vehicles, because oil is a finite resource?
WHERE WAS THE CLINTON LEADERSHIP THEN??? - Reply to this comment
- Wow. Solar power plants. Rising oil prices, unemployment, and inflation. Talk of a national speed limit. Research into alternative energy.
This is turning into the seventies all over again.
And the outcome will be the same - something will happen that will make ALL OF THIS TOTALLY UNNECESSARY, we''ll go back to using oil like crazy, people will start driving Ford Explorers, then Expeditions, then Excursions, then Hummers. We will FORGET ALL ABOUT the oil shortage. Then we''ll have an oil crisis when we suddenly realize that there''s an oil shortage...
We just never learn. - Reply to this comment

Re: "Solar power is more expensive than fossil fuel power so our business actually depends on government subsidies," says Rawlings."
"But so do the oil business %u2026 and the coal business %u2026 and the nuclear industry too."
This is key- to identify and eliminate any and all subsidies to the oil, coal, and nuclear industries.- Reply to this comment

- It''s about time!!! I live on a sailboat and with my solar panels and wind generator I produce 100% of my electrical needs. My only vice is that I have a small gas powered generator that powers my AC if I have to run the AC for more than a couple of hours. With 2 more batteries and another panel I should be able to eliminate the generator entirely.
Setup cost: Spendy, probably around $3500 US. Sipping frozen margaritas in air conditioned comfort and not using a drop of fossil fuel....PRICELESS - Reply to this comment
