Wind Power Needs A Push: Greening The Grid Means Changing The Grid

Story is here.

Germany has been investing heavily in solar energy with great results:

I hope the U.S. follows suit. With increasing use will come (at least theoretically) lower energy prices. I personally would be willing to pay slightly higher electricity prices in order to help us extract ourselves from some of our geopolitical entanglements.

We also need a Manhattan Project for energy, but that is a topic for another day.
