The Moonshot of our Generation

The United States has fallen behind in the implementation of renewable energy. We should commit ourselves to being energy independent within a decade. The technology is available today. We don't need to buid an esoteric hydrogen society 15 or 20 years from now. Solar, (photovoltaic, solar thermal water heating, solar wind driven and solar wave driven), marine energy, hydropower, biomass, heat pumps and biofuels (biodiesel) can show us the way.

The world of the next generation will have quite a problem if oil production continues to flatten out or decline, and carbon dioxide emissions continue to increase.

Japan and Germany are Leading the Way

The Chart Below shows that Japan and Germany are leading the way in installing Solar Photovoltaic power generation.

Japan and Germany understand that the world of Oil, Gas and Coal are in decline and are rapidly retooling their economies to rely on renewable resources.

We shouldn't be following Japan and Germany, we should be leading. By taking the lead on energy independence, we could revive our history of technology innovation and bring a million jobs back to the US. It is incumbent on our generation to fix the problem.

Now is the time to install Solar on your house or business. With the State and Federal Incentives, it not only makes economic sense, it allows you to be part of the moon shot of our generation.
