Green Energy Players Eager for Obama - Clean-energy advocates say it is time to get started fulfilling the presidential campaign rhetoric about boosting the use of green fuels in the United States.
To all those advocates of new energy resources - here is my suggestion from one who is often concerned with techno-economics.
Leave aside the carbon credits business- this is man made invention.
I would like all technologies to be self reliant and stand on their own merit.Unless and until we were planning a moon journey,the fact remains that we have heard too much about this and that benefit and yet there would probably will not a be a balance sheet for any PV plant or Bio Mass plant or even Wind plant.
If it is there why they do not post it on web site .
Leave aside China.
In China the govt is communist one and they can do what they like without ever bothering about the consequences to the general public . There is defacto no voice for their people like in a democracy.
If we keep providing tax cuts and benefits and the result after years are still dismal what is the point in doing it. After all tax payer has to pay for it and if there is already a recession and no country afford it.
All those who believe in politics should ponder as to what percentage of profits being reaped , are going to new development work.
Industry shuld demand govt support not to make it economically viable but to help develop new advanced technologies.

But this again brings in Techno-economics.If the cost of bringing this energy to his palace is likely to result in a lifelong mortgage of his palace , he would do well to think of alternatives!
One of the comments talks about proactive measures by Michigan. I would like to quote here 'The American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity (ACCCE), points that Coal based fired plants means 293,000 jobs for Michigan alone by 2015.'. These jobs and energy independence can only be guaranteed through conventional energy source.
