There is only one suitable answer to our energy needs for the next 50 years. The good news is this technology is not new. It has been perfected over the last 70 years. Brazil is investing heavily in this technology.

If you're involved in any company that does solar power research (especially with the new nanotechnology solar panels), you're going to be amazingly rich over the next 20 years because with nanotechnology, the cost of a home solar power installation that used to cost US$30,000 could be cut to under US$4,000! At US$4,000 per home, that makes it very viable for new home installations given the retail cost of a new house even in today's depressed housing market.

Subsidies must stop. There's no incentive to do it cheaper. Instead the incentive is to gold plate.
Fines should begin on dirty energy that causes criminal behavior and respiratory illness.
Put the solar panels BACK UP on the White House, and require government buys of solar, wind, geothermal, and nuclear energy.
