Sigh. Another reason to advocate capital punishment for bankers. As our economy crashes and credit dries up so do our green jobs and small renewable energy businesses. This is going to be a rough time for everybody, but I didn't really think the renewable energy sector would be impacted as much as it is and will be. This shows the importance of President Obama's stimulus plan for the solar, wind, and weatherization/energy audit industries. Call me crazy but to build a better electrical grid, get the U.S. off the foreign oil addiction, meet the growing energy demand of the information highway, and help the frickin' planet we can't afford to wait for the "free market" to decide.
And by the way, where is the swagger, bravado, and PR blitz of T. Boone Pickens? He was listed in the New York Times article as having, "cut back or delayed (his) wind farm plans." Where are all of the commercials we saw around the election last year? Hmmm. Nary a peep from him these days. I wonder what ever happened to his lofty goal of helping the U.S. get off of Middle Eastern oil. Maybe all of that writing and speeches exhausted him and he is taking a break? Hard to say.
Moving toward a more sustainable, renewable, and efficient world.
How do we get there?
