Renewable energy is the only sustainable way to power our lives. It keeps air and water clean, and eliminates our dependence on foreign oil. We already have the technology to produce renewable energy on a massive scale. We should put Americans to work making it happen now.
Build large wind farms on the plains, on mountains, and offshore. They look beautiful while operating quietly and cleanly. Build solar concentrator towers with vast mirror arrays in deserts, plains, and on hillsides. These have higher efficiency than photovoltaic cells. Build tidal and wave-powered turbines in coastal inlets.
Use excess power to pump water into reservoir lakes, so it can be released through turbines when extra power is needed. We can produce all our energy domestically and cleanly. Let's do it.
