what are your thought on renewable energy?

[David]

a wonderful idea. i personally think nuc power is the way to go. the world is so completely buried in petroleum dependency that it will be a very long time before that goes away. it may never go away, at least not for another hundred years or so. the u.s. lacks direction. we have no energy policy. this country has waffled on energy for well over 30 years. it doe sn,t seem like anything will get done until something even worse than the gulf oil spill will occur. renewable energy is usually more expensive than conventional power sources. you can buy into a wind farm in the area i live in. you will pay more for electricity. to lower the price of renew ables, you have to increase availability. this all takes money. money comes from private investors, or from tax revenue.

I would like to know if decreasing the price of renewable energy would increase people to bye it?
and if your know a site that shows some statistics on the prices of renewable energy in new york state.

Yes if you make renewable energy cheaper than current sources people will buy it. Simple economics.
But it has to be reliable. It can't rely on weather or not the wind blows.
