The Obama 3 years and 9 months in office has seen the US install significant solar and wind power, doubling the wind to 51 gigawatts or 50 nuclear reactors worth, solar is 4 times greater now about 6 GW. Current projects on order will drive us to 10 and 60, 70 GW total, most of this will be complete within the next 12 months.
Thats 60 or 70 reactors not needed, 70+ gas or coal plants not needed. The amount of water saved every day from reactors and fossil burners are rivers and lakes of water, freeing it up for agriculture and cities. The time to build these is amazing. From a few months to a year for most solar and wind projects. Compare that; coal 5 years +, 12 + for nukes, to say nothing of the tons of hot for ever and ever nuke waste, and the pollution from carbon based fuels.
Support the alternative energy credits. It's a bargain comparing the benefits to cost in your tax dollars given to oil and coal now.
