You know Copy-Left the answers are renewable energy sources is now available and in the market today. I know that a wide range of new solar technologies are available from everyone's favorite "Big Oil" company BP, they are just beyond the average middle class American's ability to obtain. If the administration really wanted to encourage these technologies, how about cutting all taxes from these corporations and retailers selling the products? How about some real tax rebates for consumers who purchase these products, such as the ability to deduct the cost of the purchase and installation of these products from taxes owed for all Americans regardless of income (since this is not a Rich vs Poor issue)? Could you imagine the carbon reductions if every Wal-Mart went solar? Instead of punishing by imposing taxes, what about encouraging by incentives? The mindset is just plain wrong on this issue and it will bring down the Democratic Party in the long run.
