It has been over FOUR months since I've posted. Sheesh. But I just read this article in Scientific American magazine (of which I have a subscription - dorky!) and even though I already posted in on Facebook, I want to post it here too cause it's so cool. I really hope I come back to this post years from now and see that we've actually taken steps toward clean energy.

Supplies of wind and solar energy on accessible land dwarf the energy consumed by people around the globe.
The authors’ plan calls for 3.8 million large wind turbines, 90,000 solar plants, and numerous geothermal, tidal and rooftop photovoltaic installations worldwide.
The cost of generating and transmitting power would be less than the projected cost per kilowatt-hour for fossil-fuel and nuclear power.
