hiding behind 35mpgs

Meant to write about this a few days ago, but a not so well informed post over at my buddy foo’s sites, a polish strangely republican guy, which gave general praise to the prez on the recent energy bill sparked my otherwise lazy ass to put my thoughts together. While Yahoo’s headline reads, “Bush signs bill boosting fuel standards”, and the Atlanta Consitution-Journal reads, “Energy bill brightens prospects”. A deeper read and commentary over at renewableenergyaccess.com starts by saying:

Everyone in the renewable energy community tried to put a good face on it, but let’s face it — we have a second recent Energy Bill with little support for renewable energy and energy efficiency.

I continue to lose faith in the Janus faces of our governments and state loud and proud in Google we trust. Not only are they, and hopefully soon to be me, working on rechargeit,

RechargeIT is a Google.org initiative that aims to reduce CO2 emissions, cut oil use and stabilize the electrical grid by accelerating the adoption of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and vehicle-to-grid technology.

but I recently found out they are also working on RE < C

Clean and affordable energy is a growing need for our company, so we’re excited about launching RE < C , a strategic initiative whose mission is to develop electricity from renewable sources cheaper than electricity produced from coal. Initially, this project to create renewable energy cheaper than coal will focus on advanced solar thermal power, wind power technologies, and enhanced geothermal systems – but we’ll explore other potential breakthrough technologies too.
