DOE spending
What we spend
DOE spends 2/3 of its budget on nuclear weapons.

What it spends on wind, one of the most promising new energy technologies, comes to just 15¢ per person per year.
 
 
  Only $1.13 per year. That's all that DOE spends from each of us for research on new solar, wind, and biomass (ethanol) energy technologies combined. This is not DOE's fault. They always ask for more, but their budget is proposed by the President and passed by Congress. Some way to fight "oil addiction" and achieve "energy independence." They're not even trying.

stabilization wedges
Princeton scientists give us a list of 20 projects for stabilize CO2 emissions for the next 50 year. Just 7 of them, done right would be enough. It's a clever list, but they don't tell us how to get any of them to happen.
