What’s Catching Fire in Alternative Energy and Why

Alternative energy is still dependent on poorly defined public policy in the United States. The excitement on the overly subsidized energy bill is unfounded. It will not solve our growing energy dependency. It would make more sense to debunk the nonsense of a “hydrogen highway or economy,” send checks to farmers for biofuels instead of using food for fuels, and get down to the hard work of rebuilding America’s moribund energy infrastructure. Not to mention its third world telecommunications and water infrastructure too. The plain fact is that infrastructure projects are not sexy to politicians or the media for that matter. But they are essential for a first world economy to function well. Ours isn’t and is increasingly vulnerable to mishaps.
