Green energy is definitely the best solution in most cases. Technology like solar energy, wind power, fuel cells, zaps electric vehicles, EV hybrids, etc have come so far recently. Green energy even costs way less than oil and gas in many cases.

Every candidate from Guliani to Clinton is now using the “Apollo program for energy” metaphor but it was Barack Obama who first mentioned the need for an Apollo like project for US energy independence in his book “The Audacity of Hope.”

As with everybody, there are things I like and alternative ways of spending our collective tax dollar. Kucinich makes a good point in his “water marks” dissertation: “Our children shall be educated about the essential nature of water for maintaining life.” On the other hand, he comes off as somewhat elusive when he thinks that our government should subsidize AMtrack: “Unlike aviation, highways and transit, there is no dedicated funding for investing in our Nation’s passenger rail service.” We live in a free market society; Kucinich may need to review his copy of Friedman’s 1962 book Capitalism and Freedom, Friedman advocated minimizing the role of government in a free market as a means of creating political and social freedom. Furthermore, the farm bill is horrific in wasteful appropriations. I do not feel the need to support some dirt farmer just because he made a choice concerning his economic future. I have been a farmer in Nebraska. During my farming years, I believed that I was in heaven. After a few weather related bad years, I realized farmers had to be creative and inventive as to income sources. I could not tolerate the injustice to my fellow Americans, taking government aid, so that I could live in heaven. Kucinich tries to pander to his following and does not standup to reality.
