The Need for Government Leadership in Renewables

There is a great post over at Woodbury Democrat (can also read it at Radloff''s Random Thoughts) about the need for government leadership on renewable energy.

Many of the solutions simply need governmental determination to make them happen. We're currently giving a TON of money to the Saudis in exchange for oil. This doesn't make sense. Why not give a TON of money to America's farmers in exchange for soybean or corn products that will burn in modified engines just fine? The only thing stopping this from happening is Big Oil's powerful lobbying of congress.

The post is rather long, but well worth the time. Check it out.
