Japan to Cut the Cost of Solar 50%
Written by Aaron on June 23rd, 2008
Japan’s making solar power for regular people cheap.
The prime minister, aiming to take the lead in the fight against climate change as host of the Group of Eight leaders’ summit next month, unveiled on June 9 a long-term goal to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 60-80 percent from current levels by 2050.
Once again, other developed nations beat the U.S. to the punch when it comes to alternative fuel sources. Our current administration’s big idea is to drill for more oil, an idea that, while I’m not opposed to it, doesn’t solve any problems. It only create more money-making opportunities for the oil companies which are already making 100 BILLION in profit every year.
Bush and Co. have offered no alternatives to oil. Why should he? He’s an oil man. All his friends are in oil. He from Texas for crying out loud!
Several years ago, Bush gave a speech saying that America was addicted to oil and that his administration would work to lesses this addiction. Looking back, I now realize that speec was like a crack dealer telling all his clients they were addicted to crack and that he would help them out by locating more places for them to buy crack.
