Quite a lot of green energy in the news this past week! First Al Gore stumps for an end to US use of fossil fuels. I appreciate the way he couched his rhetoric to make this shared national source of pride like the Apollo program. What he does not talk about, but I'm sure he's working on behind the scenes, is the specific means to reach this goal. I've been approaching things from a personal angle of what I can do to reduce my individual footprint, but how do we legislate a national effort? I agree with Mr. Gore that a full-on national effort is required - so what do we do to motivate people to get on the bandwagon and recognize this as the next big shared step in reaching our human potential?
Then almost in the same day Texas approves the updating of their energy infrastructure to increase access to wind power. As far as I can tell this doesn't really do anything to increase the production of wind energy in Texas, it just puts in place the power lines necessary to transmit power from proposed wind farms on the pan handle to the rest of the state, but it does seem to indicate that even deep in oil country Texans recognize that wind power is a growth industry and a massive source of income.
