Whether through legislative action or economies of scale - or both - clean energy has not taken hold in this country. According to the <a href="http://tonto.eia.doe.gov/kids/energy.cfm?page=2" rel="nofollow">EIA</a> something on the order of 93% of this country's energy comes from non-renewable resources. This is unconscionable. The will come when these resource become scarce. By definition they decrease every time we flip on a switch, turn on the engine, board a train, or strike the keyboard. Even though I purchase my energy from the local utility through their renewable energy program, a vast majority of their electricity generation comes from coal. So yes, it is a pittance in many ways. But on the other hand it is the start of the second green revolution in earnest.
