New York City Councilman says the role of government in environmentalism is to provide goals and incentives and allow the private sector to choose among options.
If we really want to transform the way we use/generate energy, why not have a massive WPA type project that trains THOUSANDS of installers who will put solar on ever roof that can handle it AT COST!!! And with no interest financing at a rate that would have the expense paid for in 8 years....just about the break even point vis a vis energy savings.
This employs many, helps manufacturers and improves GW/environment.
