"What is our energy future?"
The key to the future of renewable energy is federal investment.
Dean Doug Guthrie of The George Washington University’s School of Business discusses what he thinks will be the key to the future of renewable energy and sustainability. He discusses the importance of federal investment for green businesses, and comments on Obama’s notion of our “sputnik moment.”

Well they just threw 800 Billion dollars away.
I don’t think the Federal Government knows what to do in regards to technology.
Even if they thought they did, I would not trust them.

Hey Andrew,
Thanks for your comment. I understand your concern with the government and their lack of transparency with their money. Luckily, I think they are going to do a little bit to try and change that. There was actually an interesting chart posted by the white house that explains the break down. You will be amazed to see where most of the country’s money goes and how insignificant the above amount is in the long run.
