(30,058 posts)Power sources for years. If we had spent the money to equip homes and businesses with solar, wind and water power instead of invading Iraq we would be much further along. We could alter the oil products and be much cleaner in our environment. Most of these sources are God provided and again it would seem the religious right would be on God's side and thanking for the source.
Another issue I have is the electric companies has admitted for years they do not have enough power and have the "brown outs" for years so here is an answer to their limited sources. When storms hit an area we are without power for days. A lot of homes have their own generators but again many are not efficient if they are gas powered. We are at the mercy of electric companies getting power restored.
This is an issue Obama has embraced and therefore fought by GOP. I had a co worker bragging how Solyndra went bankrupt, a loan started in the Bush administration but of course the GOP has been on the fighting side. I told him $850M was a lot less than the $2B a week we spent in Iraq.
