The development of new and sustainable forms of energy will certainly help reduce our dependency on foreign oil and create a new job sector that will employ Americans.  But, we also need to look at how we can make the products and services we use everyday more energy efficient - regardless of how, eventually, the energy they use is produced.  behindthegreen.org is a site sponsored by many top tech companies that is seeking to create a dialogue between the government and private sectors on that very topic.

Bush had the soundest energy policy.

He focused solely on 21st century solutions like hydrogen, fuel cells and nanotechnologies.

He let the market carry the mature technologies like solar (First Solar) and wind (Pickens).

More than ever, the Government needs to pursue and fund the 21st Century.

That is where the jobs will come from.

Not by propping up 19th Century Dow dinosaurs.
