In local news...

The area I live in here in the US is an excellent research area for alternative energy (except solar). The climate can vary from -36C mid January to 43C in mid July. The SW portion of the state is already filling with wind tubines, we have a couple of nuclear reactors, we are a conduit for Montana coal to Lake Superior and with our agrarian roots have tons of biomass and hydrogen research. Lately, I've been researching ways to convert my home to use a geothermal heat pump.

I think the SOA on Energy was right on pinpointing one of the biggest challenges facing the world. With proper leadership we might address both issues of middle east stability AND global warming. But, in order for it to take this time (as opposed to the Cartel power grab in the 70's) is that each person needs to take ownership for their non-renewable consumption. What the government needs to do is begin to increase taxes on non-renewable resources and divert that revenue towards a renewable energy infrastructure. We need to dismantle the fossil fuel economy, and rebuild one based on renewable sources without social disharmony and suffering. Not an easy struggle and we might already be 30 years too late to stop or reverse the negative global climate changes.
