Why aren't we doing this?

Not only is green energy clean, it's efficient too. To stubborn global warming critics, look at what we could be doing!

America, let's get it together. I've been saying this for a while, but green technology is not the future, it's the present. Trash incinerators that create clean(er) energy! How are we not doing this!

One thing that scares me as I read and write about these issues is America's stubborn resistance to help itself. Polling now shows that the majority of Americans are open to repealing health care although only 28% of those people claim to understand the new law! How is this possible? Anyone who has examined the law knows that it does a lot to help everyone in America, including - listen carefully Tea Party - the federal budget deficit. Yet here we are decrying it as socialism for reasons that hold no water and don't stand up to legitimate analysis of the law.

When it comes to green energy, I feel we are the same way. I fail to understand how it is unpatriotic to stop sending money to Saudi Arabia. How does it hurt us to create jobs in America by investing in alternative forms of energy that we can create? If you've been to the southwest, you know it's sunny; if you've been to the midwest, you know it's windy. We can capitalize on those things. T. Boone Pickens, a man who needs no introduction, understands that. He is a living, breathing American dream and a real patriot, a self-made man who doesn't want to cling to America's reliance on energy forms that will destroy our economy and our planet.

Back to these trash incinerators. I propose that we build one or more in every American community immediately. I'm serious. Explain to me how a trash incinerator that creates cheap energy while simultaneously reducing our dependence on dirty and expensive landfills is a bad thing. In fact, we should start emptying landfills and throwing the trash into these incinerators.

Let's make America better today; let's burn our trash!
