Wind energy is not a future resource, it is here now.
There is no question that it will be a primary part of our energy mix in the future. The only question is, will we build those millions of turbines here in the US, or will we concede the growth industry of the 21st century to our competitors.

Energy Efficiency: Part 2
If you missed Efficiency Part 1, check that one now. People have been bugging me to get part 2 out, so I bumped it to the top of the pile. This is a huge topic, so there will be at least one more segment.
Renewable Solutions are BACK: “Energy Efficiency – Part 1”
After spending most of the last year playing whack a mole with denier nonsense and “ClimateGate” canards, and after a whole lot of people asked me to, I switched gears from describing the problem to mapping out the solutions to climate change.
If you haven’t seen the first 3 Renewable Energy Solution of the Month videos, check them out here.

Plug-in Hybrids: Renewable Energy Solution of the Month
This video inaugurates a new series, that will augment, but not replace, “Climate Denial Crock of the Week”.
