We don't need to "research" non fossil fuel resources. They are already available. But they are priced out of reach to be practical.
Also...I heard this the other day and I think it makes perfect sense: When you show me a way to get a jet airliner off the ground using "green" energy...that's the day it's viable.
Right now, we should be exploring and getting the U.S.'s natural resources for energy. The policy of trying to get blood from a stone by driving up energy costs (and the cost of EVERYTHING along with it) on a country full of unemployed and underemployed people is a horrible "tax" all unto itself.
I'm sick of funding goddamn crazy ass muslim countries and making them oil rich billionaires while they hate our guts and want to kill us.
Let's get our OWN energy, it will be plenty to last far past our lifetimes, and in the meantime...as technology continues to change and grow...continue working on a real alternative to fossil fuels.
This would get our economy back on track, put people to work, bring costs down...and allow us to just let those crazy fucks in the mid-east rot in the desert.
