Instead of giving $1T in bailout money to the banks, the US government could have given every one of the 69,865,957 households in this country $14,000 to buy a high end solar panel system.

Problem, Obama?
 





I'm not saying I hate Canada. I just would'nt mind $14,000 to put solar panels on my roof:D

Problem in Vancouver is that there isn't enough sunshine to make that worth while ;)

Nor in Calgary, Edmonton, Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, or Halifax

But that's ok, those cities only account for 98% of our population ;)

Yes... But that's like saying that someone has tons of hair because they have more of it than anyone else at the hair loss clinic.

It's still substantially less sun than anywhere in states like California, Nevada, Florida, etc, where solar power works well.
 
Until fusion becomes viable I don't think the US government will really embrace green energy. And when they do, it will be too little too late. Yay environment!

This is why I do not plan on having children. :|

I actually have solar panels on my home (well, my mom's home, where I live when I am not at school). It was rather expensive, but Arizona had a program for promoting it, so all in all, it cost around $5,000 for the solar panels to be installed and everything, and now our electricity bills are like $50 a month! D:

Huh?

1) Tim Hortons is a public company.
2) Their stores are franchise owned.

I don't know who you've been getting your info from, but it's no good.
 
Get some wind turbines instead. I have seen them as small as a few hundred watts. The comunity college I go to (Lake Land College) has 2 smaller wind turbines that can generate up to 8KW. They are currently adding 2 more that dwarf the 2 current wind turbines.
 
If we had avoid wasting all those trillions for nothing in Iraq/Afghanistan, ended the EPIC FAIL war on drugs and basically stopped being the world police our country could be energy independent right now, have free healthcare and not have the number 1 prison population of any country. As it is we're rapidly devolving into some kind of third world corporate plutocracy.

America: Where corporations are people, money is free speech and greed i$ good.
