Comment on "Hurray for High Prices?"

I really appreciate your post "Hurray for High Prices"

I would argue that the line of thinking of republicans about Obama's motives, are not completely off base.  Though, I don’t think he is ignoring the issue in the immediate, rather he is trying to do more than put a band aid on it. Renewable and clean energies should be considered the new frontier. A race should be on to advance or claim in the property, much as the whole of Europe raced to claim the America’s. We need that kind of grand thinking about alternative fuels and geothermal, wind, and solar energies.  I think a majority of Republicans stand on the side of science that disagrees with the impact on our environment from our addiction to fossil fuels.  This further aides their need to have government stay out of people’s rights to run whatever kind of business they want.

The true turning in events for this will be as you said, when people decide they want a renewable future. That is really what it’s all about. I don’t think enough people put thought into where there dollars go. Money holds the key to reform. People need to invest in clean renewable energy by buying renewable products and supporting companies that use renewable resources.  This is one of the things I love about social networks. When you find out a company is doing something good or bad when it comes to the environment, you can let all of your friends know and they can let all of theirs and so on. This information can then go straight to register.
