$189 BILLION investment in renewable energy. I guess we would have to
be dreaming in 3d technicolor to see that type of large investment in
alt energy. Another example of other countries leaving the U.S. in
the dust and falling further behind the rest of the world,

China will invest 1.5 trillion yuan (US$189 billion) to increase the
ratio of renewable energy consumption

Renewable energy

China is catching up to the rest of the world in everything including pollution, luckily they are also getting ahead in renewable energy. I wish America would do the same considering it uses a majority of the world's energy.

So often I forget. America is 2 continents undevidable. The United States sits on a part of 1 of them. Canada is leading out continent with biodiesel production and alternative crop explorations, like Hemp: seed for energy, and fiber for Wood replacements, and Cannabis for medication. In America we use to be able to pay our taxes with Hemp until (1906). Them Hemp for Victory followed wwII drained finances with a viable alternative. One that got bad press, and never was utilized. I heard someone from Dow chemical talk about there energy consumption, and that they produce 2/3 of their energy needs. They are also one of the largest buyers of Soybeans( Quality bio-D) in the state I'm from.

USA will eventually invest more into renewable energy ( Once when Bush leaves ) I mean if you think about it, the main way to fight pollution is by getting every single person in the world to help. We never were so lazy as in throwing our trash randomly then I bet the world would be a lot more cleaner. I mean we have so many land fills and dumps its not even funny. We need to find a productive way to take out all the trash and recycle what we can.

yes that is the plan, but as you can see the plan is not working. People are too lazy and just don't care enough to do anything about pollution. It doesn't greatly or directly affect their lives enough for them to take action.

Wow, spendy.. but I guess it's a good use of our tax $$

It is a very good use of your taxes, in comparison to some of the projected costs of climate change. For example, changing a whole farming infrastructure to adapt to different climatic conditions, or tackling new outbreaks of diseases.. ??

The Stern report published earlier this year measured the cost of climate change problems in trillions, not billions...

hooray this makes me feel like the world has some hope again for sanity!!!

Of course it is going to be expensive. Stop and think much money it took to get the environment and the way it is now! Nothing is cheap in this life not even the air we breathe. We paid for it in the end and that is exactly what we are going to do.
