How much wind and solar power would $1,000,000,000,000.00 buy? [View All]

[Old and In the Way]

Between Bush's taxcuts to the rich and the war on Iraq, I think we've burned through about Trillion dollars and 2270 American lives. What do we have to show for it? Higher oil prices.

So, I'm wondering, would a trillion dollars invested in alternative/renewable energy have made us energy independent? Would that trillion dollars have primed the pumps for new jobs and investment opportunities in our country?

Does anyone else think that Bush/Cheney were selected so that Big Oil could bankrupt our opportunity to give us true energy independence? I do.
