>>5344575 I am no fan of Feinstien, but those kids are as brainwashed as anyone on the left. Not only do we not have the money, we don't have the technology, at least in the publicly accepted domain. Anyone who has an electric car in MN knows this, an no amount of money is going to fix that. If the technology truly does exist and can be freed from big oil, then government could fix that problem, but if not, there is not alot government can do besides make a mess of any progress we could make. The reason government can make something like the interstate system, is because we know how to make roads. The only tech we have available that could replace green house gas emissions on the scale of energy we need is nuclear. Unfortunately, politics, and environmentalist in particular, have hampered that industry to the point it will take decades to bring online. Renewable energy is a misnomer anyway, using the suns energy is just using a fusion source outside our immediate system instead of fission source inside our system. Regardless, MN was only able to get 2% of its energy from renewable during the last cold snap, and it has 15% of its supply being renewable, so the physical reality catches up political rhetoric pretty quickly.
