What we need today is not a cap and trade system -- it is action and leadership. Accepting a bribe for energy costs that are simply passed on to the consumer is not a solution -- it is a stop gap that hurts the consumer and costs jobs. There are good solutions that we can do today because of American ingenuity. Look to our inventors like wind hunter and solar roadways.
What is a solution? Check out http://www.solarroadways.com and you'll see a national grid that can go up that will give us 3 times our current electrical power consumption for the cost of repaving our roads. Then we would have something to plug alternative energy into to smooth out the peaks. Smart roads would encourage smart communities who extend the solution to their own factories, malls, businesses, and (YES) even homes.
A road should be able to melt its own snow without any equipment. A road should be able to detect people or deer on the road and warn in coming vehicles. A road is the perfect place to create a fault tolerant, national grid to manage the energy and communication needs of our communities through the country. It is "where the road goes" that "the people will flourish and benefit."
Have our auto companies build our new interstates and gain a stake in an America that sets a trend of the next century and beyond. Have so many jobs available that we don't worry about who will get them. We all need to help this happen.
