Follow the Leader
Germany certainly has a lot to admire in their national interest and commitment to sustainable energy. Its time for the US to follow the example of Germany and make a commitment to increase its reliance on energy from renewable resources. Hydro, wind, solar, geo, bio, and other renewable technologies have great advantages to the finite limits of a carbon based energy system. Development of renewables technologies now, is a wise precaution to the future reduction and eventual loss of all the easily obtained carbon sequestered fuels. Congrats Germany for your leadership role.
