• Answer:

  Technically we could begin a crash program to move this country toward wind and solar technology tomorrow morning. What stands in the way are certain entrenched interests that have a tremendous amount of influence on what gets used to generate electrical energy in the United States. Coal mining interests, coal shipping interests, coal burning interests and coal investing interests ALL have powerful lobbies at the federal and state levels. The point of these lobbies and the cash money they hand out in 'campaign contributions' is staggering both in the amount and in effect on our lack of a 21st century national energy policy. Basically we have an early 20th century energy policy based on a 19th century technology and the coal mafia wants to keep it that way. You can say exactly the same as the above about the oil mafia.....they don't want high mileage cars and they don't want this country to get out of the middle east no matter how much borrowed money gets spent to keep our troops there acting as mercenaries for the entrenched oil interests. Anyway you slice this it comes out baloney....the movers and shakers of this country don't want any changes that will disturb the flow of money from the coffers of coal and oil to the campaign money machine. In real life we could call all this money bribery, but who would want to report on that? So, alternate energy COULD replace large quantities of fossil fuels over a relatively short period of time, but you can bet the farm that isn't going to happen. We won't have fleets of electric cars, we won't have high speed rail, we won't see any end to our military involvement in the middle east and we won't be the world's leading country either. We will get a #$%^ load of propaganda from the right wing radio dummies and FOX who like many of our public officials pimp for these bums. The propaganda will call anyone who says we CAN move on to 21st century technology a 'far left liberal', a socialist or a commie tree hugger. Bummer, eh!
