[QUOTE="beentheredonethat, post: 1547788, member: 4886"] I do agree that it's a good idea to have alternative energy. However the way we are going about it is crazy. The govt gives away guaranteed loans to solyndra as an example. We give away tax credits to buy electric vehicles which in most cases is still powered by carbon producing electric plants. If we want to reduce carbon the relative short term solution is nuclear. Longer term is to make alternative more efficient. We should do this by putting money into stem education. Give grants to colleges like MIT or Caltech etc to make alternative more efficient. Even if it doesn't succeed immediately we have educated engineers as a side effect. As to property distribution sounds like you want communism. Tell you what you start and give away rights to use your car your house your stereo etc. Then let's see how that works. [/QUOTE]
