Google Disavows ALEC: They Are 'Literally Lying' About Climate Change

12. A bit off-topic, but while people are paying attention.

I recently flew over the Southwest, over Kansas , Texas, New Mexico and much of Arizona.

The sun is unrelenting for miles and miles. The wind sweeps across. The land is barely inhabited. Where are the solar panels? Where are the windmills?

The potential for energy just in that region, seems to me, would be enough to supply the US, Canada and parts of Central America and Mexico day and with some technological investment night.

Why aren't we already using these resources?

What is wrong with us?

I would like to see a million people out marching for a national grid across which energy can be shared and which is flexible and safe and then the alternative energy investment to make that grid zap.

Next time, let's march for something very specific and concrete, a goal that we can visualize and achieve -- a new grid with alternative energy from the Southwest supplying 75% of the energy it transmits.
