As we remain slaves to oil, there is no acceptable, affordable alternatives so all this talk about green energy is great rhetoric but it really doesn't get us anywhere as a nation. I want to be off the grid so bad, I hate my $400 per month electric bill, I hate filling up my car which now costs me about $45.00 to do, who wouldn't want free renewable energy... the solar technology is not there yet... adequate power output and energy storage are the big downfalls..a typical household even with full roof panels costing between 20 - 40 thousand would not provide enough power to run all the appliances... Of course we can all buy into doing both using alternative to cut back but think think think what will the power companies do when people start using less?????? They will jack the price up so you still wind up paying for it....

Why is it like this??? Because we lack leadership in government....
