Time For A Better Way- It's Time to Get Serious About Renewable Energy

The Gulf Oil leak continues pouring millions of gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico and BP can't stop it.  This means there are not enough safeguards to prevent disasters.  Who knows when they'll get it stopped or how much damage will be done to the environment, or to business and commerce?    How much will the cleanup end up costing.

It's time to focus our efforts on renewable energy sources like wind and solar.  Yes, they are more expensive in the short run, but solar and wind costs are actually dropping quite dramatically.  It's time to move away from our dependence on fossil fuels and more toward a more sane energy policy.  It's time to get the oil  industry's influence out of the process.  Let's face it, they serve or care about nothing but their bottom line.  They don't care about Americans except how much they can get out of their pockets. 

If  we don't start taking action now on this issue, we can look forward to more disasters in the future.  It's time to move beyond  this polluting, limited resource and toward resources that make far better sense over the long haul.
