The competition and fight for the strategic control of oil vs. the cooperative and independence inherent in renewable energy is an interesting comparison.

With this in mind… Anne Korin is a conservative worth listening too.  She is the Co-Director of the Institute for the Analysis of Global Security. She points out a few key questions that are missing from many discussions about climate change, oil, coal, nukes, drilling, etc.
-Does America have the time to wait for the market to provide to solutions for energy independence?
-Are there times when government should intervene, like cap and trade?
-Why are we fighting wars that we are supporting both sides of?

-What real solutions can we do right now?
–Here is part one of seven…

And so…
-Will coal become less attractive because the Supreme Court has agreed CO2 is a pollutant and must be regulated by the EPA to mitigate climate change?  Cick Here

-Will government step in with Cap and Trade to give renewable more advantage over fossil fuels?
As Obama has mentioned. Click Here

-Or will new innovations come forward that are more competitive than fossil fuels?

Like this study from Ausra about how Solar thermal power could supply over 90 percent of US Grid Plus new electric vehile auto fleet.

The answer… it’s the economy, it’s the economy, it’s the economy. Green baby, Green!

Most of the green sector is booming while the economy is faltering. Why is that?

Whatever the path the goal is the same… energy independence.

Time to work together toward a common goal that will benefit the next seven generations!

In-joy,

This is a must see video if you are at all interested in electric cars, climate change, the economy and solutions.

It is a conversation with Shai Agassi and Tim O’Reilly at the Web 2.0 Summit in San Francisco.

We live in amazing times.

Here are a few new discussions on Renewable Energy & Peak Oil…. very interesting.

Keep in mind the whole point of identifying the Peak OIl situation is to motivate us toward taking action with solutions. Debating and getting mired in the problem solves nothing

No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it. - Albert Einstein
