Why does the U.S. think our nation will follow through with current non coal / oil energy talks now???
Ohhh how we forget...
On July 15 1979, President Jimmy Carter delivered his politically inopportune "malaise speech", remembered for its downcast assessment of the country's mood. Less well-known is this startling passage: "I will soon submit legislation to Congress calling for the creation of this nation's first solar bank, which will help us achieve the crucial goal of 20% of our energy coming from solar power by the year 2000."
Suffice it to say, 2000 came and went, and solar still provides less than 1% of US energy.
What will happen is a constant balance of tax, credits and subsidy's that continue to push energy options that ARE NOT sustainable... contining to push our nation into a economic and environmental hole.
History and Math needed in U.S. Congress
