I'm assuming the credit markets look at these studies closely.
Here's an interesting piece on the electric cars, solars, etc.
Here's a company EEstor that's come up with a battery that can be charged in 5 minutes at a special charging station and will allow a car to be driven 300 miles or at home in using off peak rates at night for a few hours. People say had we started drilling 10 years ago we'd still have $3 gas. I keep thinking if we had put real money behind these hybrids and electrics 10 years ago we'd actually be exporting a ton of eco friendly cars to billions in Asia and India. That could have provided a ton of of middle class green collar jobs. |
The problem is always, Who is we?
The govt policy has been clear. Don't allow energy development of any kind domestically.
Predictably, we now are very vulnerable to the Mid East.
Plenty of blame to pass around.
