Looks like the thunderstorms that have battered much of the country lately are still hanging around here today, and I think they are going to derail our plans. I guess that will work out for Hudson the wonder dog, as our presence will make this less miserable for her, though that's not to say she won't be miserable. Oh well.

Oh yes alternative energy, another failure that Obama funded with tax payer money that has already failed. Had we authorized more drilling a decade ago, we wouldn't be paying 4-5 bucks a gallon now. As I understand it, even if we produced as much oil as Saudi Arabia we wouldn't be self sufficient. And we are never going to reach those levels. So finding alternatives seems like a good plan. Now, do we currently have the technology to replace oil? No. Would additional drilling relieve the price pressure some? Some. Enough to matter? Unclear, but it seems unlikely.
Yeah, Solyndra was a failure. Frankly I haven't looked closely enough to know if it was bad management, a bad business model, bad technology, or simple theft of government funding. But we need a solution besides oil. Having the government give incentives to develop new technologies, in general, seems like a reasonable idea to me. |
