Wind can work now and we need a program to make solar cost effective. $15 billinon in tax credits to develop renewables is better than $700 billion we will pay this year to countries like Venezuala and the middle east.

I think Solar Power is the ultimate long term solution to the World's energy needs. But solar's efficiency and technology is not ready to take center stage, yet. We, as a nation, have not invested wisely (one might say have not invested at all) nor adequately in solar energy solutions. Solar provides an inexhaustable supply of energy, we only need to keep our atmosphere clear enough of smog, etc. to receive it. But, like wind energy, once the equipment to capture it is deployed a corporation or utility can't easily charge you for usage. So its not in the interest of traditional energy companies and utilities to vigorously promote solar, or wind energy. Though I believe solar is the ultimate solution ... With all the Mean Green, and proven track record of success that Pickens has behind him, I will definitely read, listen and keep an open mind to his Wind Power promotions: http://www.pickensplan.com We DEFINITELY need SOMETHING other than oil.
