hackers domestic of foreign can't turn off this light if it's not on the grid

Wind turbine+solar panel+LED+battery+pole = an off the grid street light.  Put it up and forget it.  Thousands of these in Japan & China, in the US almost none.
The US is falling behind in new cheap and clean energy at a pace that could only happen if it was sabotage, deliberate, done purposely by a force trying to cripple our future or protect an old technology.

Last year patents for new forms of energy and energy conservation products granted by the patent office were mostly from foreign entrepreneurs.  Our R&D in this realm is shrinking.

In the last few days, thousands of layoffs in the clean energy business have been announced in the US.  It has grown to a hugh sector of the economy and the GOP is killing it at the direction of their owners, the fossil fuel industry.

In the mean time.  China made the 4th doubling of it's planned solar panel generation goals for the next 4 years.  40GW, gigawatts, 40, just one GW can power 200,000 US homes, in China 2 to 5 times that many.  At a trade show two weeks ago a Chinese manufacturer told me the cost is falling, it is cleaning up the air, and in a few years they won't worry about pirates stopping their coal and oil shipments.  After the initial investment they will have free energy for 30 years, no one can compete with them when they run on free energy, unless you have it too, which we may not if we don't get off fossil fuel.

If you are in a position at work or on a school board meeting or neighborhood committee, bring up conservation ideas, new generation sources, white paint on the roofs, etc.  Somewhere, somehow you can plant a seed and things change little by little.
