Additionally, I hope we can see this really take hold with renewable energy efforts. So many jobs could be available in that sector that will benefit workers and consumers.
There is only so much money that the people at the top really need. I think this will take a strong belief that a little self-sacrifice can go along way, and as for the corporations and CEO's and people in that top 5%, they need to realize that their greed has driven people out of work and sent jobs elsewhere.
Let me put it to you this way, because I think about this all the time: How much more would you be willing to pay for a product, say, an LCD TV, for you to know that it was made in this country and that your expense went to paying an American worker to make it?
I may be totally out of my mind, but that is a principle that I think about constantly.
- Totally... and the Repubs are completely blocking the renewable energy with this "drill, baby, drill" shit.joeth
- Id sacrifice 25% of my disposable 'fun and gadgets' income for this to be true.mikotondria3
- Dunno if I'd say they are 'blocking,' unless you plan on powering your car with a windmill. :Ptommyo
- Manufacturing needs to catch up .. which I think they're starting to. We need bigger batteries!!tommyo

- Offshore drilling would supply 1.2% of total US annual oil consumption, and it would be sold at an international ratejoeth
- It's a drop in the bucket. We could save a lot more with the efficiency technology we already have.joeth
- Meanwhile, the Repubs refuse to sign on to a bi-partisan energy bill so that the offshore moratorium will expire next week.joeth
- Domestic renewables and green jobs get the shaft, while we keep spending more on foreign oil than anything else.joeth
