T Boon Pickins has invested in wind power and Solar. Most of the intelligent energy big shots forecast that 20% of our energy should come from wind and solar. Nuclear technology that reprocesses the waste back into usable non-weapons grade fuel is a smart way to go and France has done it already. If the French can do it we can do it better as we have with other industries. With the brain trust in India and Japan nuclear reprocessing should become a commodity service in the near future.
So what is in the way?
1) Stupid Lawyers who could not pay a parking ticket filing obstructionist lawsuits to block new energy sources including wind power.
2) Elected officials who have their finger in the wind and pollsters checking every day to see where the votes of the Bristle Cone Pine Salmon Spawning Bead supporters are leaning.
3) Burned out elected officials who care more about their golden parachutes than the fate of our country (all parties).
Others can add more to this list if the want to.
You didn't mention the Lobbyists'...you know ...,the ones with all the money our Politicians pay all the attention to.
