Renewable energy can never come from fossil fuels or mining rare earth metals (necessary for nukes), despite the fact that these things make a ton of money for a few people. Investing in solar, wind and flywheel technologies while lifting the ban on hemp farming is the only way to establish REAL energy security without further decimating the planet. We need an unbiased scientific approach, not a guy who sits on Chevron's board of directors. Obama needs to start taking his call (and our vote) for change seriously and make decisions based on what is best for the long term instead of catering to the (broken) establishment.
