      Aren't there two American continents? I'm pretty sure brazil is off the oil bandwagon in exchange for biofuels. Not that they don't have to cut down the rainforests to do it though.

    • Thanks for posting this. You are so right and Germany has minimal sun coverage compared to the US. Much of the US is ripe for solar.

      You and all US Voters are being played like drums in a Saturday Nite Band. Sure, they could solve the issue right now, TODAY, and Solar Power could be racing Naked and Free over the finish line in 2-3 years, not ten. The political system holds back improvements to milk them of their Election Value.

      Global Warming will just hafta WAIT. Your need for a better job will just have to WAIT. Starving shoeless poorly-educated children in Appalachia, or on Indian reservations, WILL JUST HAVE TO WAIT. The ground turned into a petrified dang forest will JUST HAVE TO WAIT. Passing any laws allowing car bodies to be made from strong LIGHTWEIGHT~SAVES~FUEL dent-resistant hemp will JUST HAVE TO WAIT.

      Everything you (aka => EVER'BODY) know should be bulldozed forward NOW has to wait in line til it can be called up as a political card to be played later... which is a rolling pair of dice that can never be allowed to stop rolling [TO THE NEXT ELECTION].

      ASSUMING THEY HAVE THE LUXURY OF TIME, which in fact if you ever listen to RUSH LIMBAUGH THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT THE POLITICIANS (ON BOTH "SIDES OF THE AISLE") BELIEVE TO BE TRUE.

      This is nothing less than American citizens being roasted like barbecued lamb. Hell, waterboarding is a cake walk compared to this putrification meatgrinder.

      I Pity the Fool (every American taxpayer~voter).

      "Voting" no longer means Voting. Voting has become a big polling => albeit "official" not on a sidewalk selecting randomly from walkers-by. So they have their big Voting-really-a-Polling Scam every few years, not to find out what you the voter wants worked on now but what they need to use IN THE NEXT ELECTION TO SCAM YOU AGAIN.

      A TSUNAMI OUT OF THE BOWELS OF HELL WOULD BE AN IMPROVEMENT.

    • Nice! The fossil fuel industry would be in deep shit. This is the reason that alternative fuel sources have not taken off in this country. If the U.S. truly wants to get off the fossilfuel bandwagon then it needs to put up and shut up. American citizens must also demand new fuel investment and stop going with what is eary, Great post TS, +^d
