Today we are living in a critical period in our nation's history.
Is America awakening with renewed interest to the emerging alternative energy technologies that will be critical to our survival in the next century? Will America live up to the principles of democracy and innovation upon which she was founded, and foster that spirit of democracy and brotherhood in the global village? Or, alternatively, will America merely persist in trying to preserve an unsustainable, throw-away lifestyle of styrofoam cups and plastic forks in the waning twilight of the era of cheap fossil fuel at home and military intimidation abroad?
