I could be wrong. Obama may be able to do something.
Kristjan wrote:Of course we need urgent action. Obama has pledged to pour $150B into renewables over the next ten years. And during the campaign he has said that energy is his number one priority. OK, the financial and economic mess gained momentum and importance. But it still leaves energy at the top of the list for Obama. Click here for the full plan. I'm optimistic towards it all, but I'd rather not discuss the details because it's still too early to call.
If you are interested in the short term outlook for renewable energy, then here is a great podcast on the topic.

They want to encourage private spending and to do that they need to increase public spending. It's the same with the PTC/ITC. It has been predicted that the extension of the PTC will lead to 300 B investments.

Hi Davep
I'm not sure you have entirely thought this one through. Hmmph.. (hard stare).
