Triangulation: The Energy Wars Have Started In The USA
The Big's (Big Nuclear, Big Oil and Big Gas) are now engaged in market share Warfare, where they seek to maintain and or increase their percentage of the American Energy "PIE". Left unsaid is that the American consumer is no longer part of the picture, having been eliminated since they have no real choice as to where they get their Energy from.
Pick a form of Energy and the other Two Big's will spend huge bucks to promote for less of "theirs" and more of "our's" Energy.
New Oil, New Nuclear are going to be too expensive before they even come on line as market forces and the RISK of another Fukushima continue to make Solar THE source of energy from now on. Look to the Germans to model the way and provide the new tech that America will pay big bucks for soon!
While Solar (of all flavors) is ready for prime time, the BIG 3 have the political clout to make sure that any new GREEN projects that might cut into their bottom line are never approved unless they are controlled by one of the BIG's or their Utilities...
Here are 4 books that model how to go SOLAR:
The High Frontier by Gerard K. O'Neill,
Colonies In Space by A. Heppenheim??er.
The Third Industrial Revolution by G. Harry Stine
The Space Enterprise by Philip Robert Harris
