Alternative Energy

Any source of energy can be considered an alternative to whatever you're using now, but to be a viable alternative, it has to compete on the basis of both cost and reliability. As you are filling out your taxes this year, consider that some portion of the amount you throw down the D.C. rathole goes to XL energy, or whomever your local supplier is, to subsidize the "green" investments they are forced to make.
TANSTAAFL, baby! You're going to pay for this one way or another.

The nice graphic above was shamelessly copied from a really good article at Power Line on the topic of Crony Capitalism as practiced here in the USA. Indonesia can't teach us anything, or maybe they did.
