That would be great if they actually had something that worked to spend all that money on,Windmills and Solar Panels have been around longer than Obama has and it's a proven fact that it would take more than a conceivable amount to put out still less energy than we need.So do we continue to seek alternatives at the risk of bankrupting the country? I say continue using what we have at a normal price,take away the financial aid our fearless spending leaders give out to every country that sticks it's hand out,and use that money to research new alternatives.
