Is Renewable Energy the Next Subprime Mortgage Meltdown?

There are as many opinions about solar and renewable energies as there are people on the planet!

The article “Carbon Limits, Yes; Energy Subsidies, No” in the Wall Street Journal
highlights the expected actions of our new incoming president and the resulting republican opposition.

It seems most conversations get pigeon holed into one camp or the other. The two camps are: global warming is a serious threat and global warming is a fraud.

To continue the generalities, those who care about this earth find themselves unceremoniously placed in the “global warming is serious camp.” Those who dare mention a concern for the world economy are dismissed to the “global warming is a fraud camp.”

To continue further, believing global warming is serious means your political leanings must therefore be liberal. Believing global warming is a fraud put you in the far right conservative group.

While governments and politics do need to face and debate the energy issues and make wise choices for today and tomorrow, watching the squabble is disheartening.

So I am always encouraged to find those pioneering spirits who go the distance for renewable energy, leaving politicians squabbling in the sandbox.

These private citizens built their solar powered home in Montana while the rest of us were sleeping.

Any other pioneers out there? Let us hear what you are doing.
