What about the environment, or national security concerns over remaining energy dependant on fossil fuels ???

You fail to mention that global warming is a real problem. In fact, 2012 so far is the warmest year ever recorded. This continues with the warming trend we have been seeing now for the past 4 decades. Not to mention acid rain, oil disasters including the Exxon Valdez, the tanker off New Zeland, the spill off RI (which was devestating to the fishing industry), the oil spill disaster in the Gulf of Mexico last year to name a few of the many examples.

How about the wars and confilcts already do to oil and it's only going to get worse, especially if we do not act now to at least reduce our dependancy.

Your article is short sighted, purely economic driven. So one solar company didn't work. Lets harp over and over on that example and try to deceive people in thinking that it is a waste of money to invest to alternative energy. Like anything new there will be some bumps in the road.

There is an entire economic industry waiting to advance and flourish if regulations and nimbys could be averted.

Every time that Wall Street speculators drive up the price on oil and gas our economy takes a huge hit. Wouldn't it be nice not to be at their mercy? Or worrying if the next conflict in the Middle East is going to spike home heating oil and gas prices?

The recession has made it more difficult to make the advancement of alternative energies a smooth one.

I applaud what is happening in the auto industry in regards to hybrids and the demand for better fuel mileage. Toyota has been successful for years because they have had the best vehicles in fuel mileage. Unfortunetly with the devestating tsunami that caused horrific damage in their nation and of course the problems with nuclear energy which is another story.

Solar companies are creating inventive ways for more power to be produced in a smaller area by going vertical with skyscraper type solar collectors.

It all comes down to waste, greed, and simply not caring for the environment when people want the drill baby drill mentally to continue. Oil is not going anywhere any time soon. However, it is not the long term answer to our energy policy, our future, and our environment.

I would think with people struggling and the working poor fed up with all the expenses that they would be seeking every which way tor educe costs. Whether it be by investing in a hybrid, or fuel efficient vehicle. Using led bulbs to reduce power expenses. Switching over to wood pellet stoves, and even natural gas for now is a better alternative than oil. Solar panels on the roof to heat the hot water tank, etc...

So please don't give me the same old story that oil is the way to go.
