Always pay heed to who is doing the study-economists, scientists, and researchers are human. They are apt to be influenced by who is paying for the research.

That's really interesting! Only one slogan fits here - Go Green and Get a Job. Is it really possible???

I think if there is one country with the bio-diversity to tap alternative energy resources, experiment and become a world leader in this field - it is the US of A. It will be great if America can take the lead in harnessing clean energy and reducing global dependence on oil, it will stop that ozone thing from hurting us and straighten up the rogue oil nations like Iran and Saudi, without the backing of oil-rich nations I think we'll see a very fast decline in global terrorism (strictly my opinion here)

When the majority of household appliances run on alternative energy and become more energy efficient than what they are today... that will be the day!

Someday, in a better world, there won't be a distinction between "regular energy" and "green energy." Instead, green will be regular, and the outlier will be "dirty energy" (eg. gas, oil, coal). It will require a shift in how we think about our energy consumption (hint hint Detroit!).
