I would rather suffer a little today to have a clean tomorrow for me and my children and my children children! if the national energy grid (and there is one it's what we are using now with extremely inefficient appliances ie. huge flat screen tv and such!) can support nuclear, coal and hydro energy plants it's not a far jump to supporting clean technologies. <br><br>Anyways oil companies have no loyalty to America the oil will go were the money is. And since we could get cut off from oil @ any time... isn't this a good enough reason to stop talking and develop alternative sources of energy? It's not even a matter of developing... we already have it lets just set it up! Well you got to start somewhere!

It is real nice to talk about renewable energy sources from wind and wave technology, but is there a plan to integrate this energy into the national network. Oh, I mispoke, there is no national energy grid. Instead of buying grass for the Washington mall, why doesn't the spending bill include this type funding?
