The World Changed Last Week--For The Better.

What a week.

First, T. Boone Pickens, the Texas oil man, comes out and basically says he's going "all in" in investing in wind energy and renewables throughout the Midwest.

Then, Al Gore, former Vice-President and creator of An Inconvenient Truth, comes out with a speech detailing the imperative nature of transitioning to renewable energies--and fast.

Gore's plan calls for going to 100% renewable energy electrical generation in the next decade. While this is an aggressive goal, perhaps even aspirational, there are a lot of people in the know who believe it can be achieved--but only if America gets the kind of leadership that summons the national will to act, much like JFK did in getting a man on the moon in the 1960s
