POWERING THE PLANET


Pure Science Specials: Powering the Planet: Earth Operating Manual. This documentary is about Geologist Richard Alley as he travels the world attempting to figure out how much Renewable energy the earth can produce. The key moment in this show is when they say America needs to create a sustainable energy program for the next fifty years not for the next two to four with each new Administration.

When I watch shows like this. When I see the plans that are in development or being planned this is what comes to mind.
I would add "ALOT MORE!" Then I remember here in the USA economics and politics (mostly politics) is the reason why.

It seems many of these ideas have government backing around the world but it always seem they aren't being funded nearly as much as say the military. The saddest thing is many other countries have these huge national infrastructure plans while in America local small projects are the best one can hope for.
