Thanks to the Bush Administrations Alternative Power Initiatives we are seeing money flowing to alternative energy research and great strides being made in the private sector. We see better longer lasting super batteries from MIT to store the energy from wind and solar or hybrid cars, laptops and even cell phones, as well as plastics which solar cells can be made out of.

But that is just one technology research center and in the United States there are many of these working at break neck speed to stay on the bleeding edge of alternative power and energy sources. But what is happening out West? This became the topic of conversation recently with some online think tank folks when one stated;

"Las Vegas is doing this enormous solar power project that is going to take a couple of years to complete that has to do with the water district."

I am very pro-Solar, as well, especially excited about many of the projects in CA desert, San Diego at the Military Base Parking structures and in AZ. Great stuff and also in the tech centers in FL. We need to use more solar, hell it is free and besides the ROI is 50% better than 10 years ago and in the last 5 years it has gotten 65% cheaper to make, along with better batteries we are in Business. This is great news for America and we can chalk up yet another victory for the Alternative Energy Research Funding Initiatives. Consider this in 2006.
