Now is the time for solar, wind and water energy.  Coal is not great and not really needed anymore, the less we use the better. Our country is smart enough to find a way to provide energy with sun, wind and water.

Pipelines are killing our land, and our water, not to mention the air.  Solar does not do any of that and creates a storage of energy to use for later.  The possibilities are endless and cheap. Nuclear is not the answer either, it is too dangerous to use. Our country is not a good caretaker of nuclear waste.

I realize big energy companies do not want to lose their money for the fat cats within the company,  but it is time to provide cheap, clean energy for the health of our country.  If we achieve this, we can sell it to other countries and help them set it up. Think of the jobs! Wow.

It is a great idea and the route we should be taking. Haven't enough people died from the air pollution we are spewing from coal and oil? And the spills, how many more people and land and water and animals have to die? Maybe the poor would not have to use wood to heat their homes either and would be healthier.  Les COPD from it would be a plus for our populations.

The time to really start doing this is today, now, the sooner the better for us all.
