APS, Lockheed Martin Corp and Starwood Energy join to build 2nd APS Solar Plant

Awesome news in my eyes. I know there are many out there that still don't believe the release of Carbon into our atmosphere is damaging the planet. It is time to wake up!
Right on to APS. This new plant, Starwood Solar I, will be up and running by 2013. The plant will boost the amount of renewable sources for energy that APS has dramatically. When it is up and running, they will beat the Arizona regulation of 4.5% of renewable energy. They will actually double the required amount to 9%.
We are the valley of the SUN. The country needs more energy. We should be the leaders with innovation, design and manufacturing of Solar energy. Why aren't we? It is simple. The fluctuations in the cost of oil make it difficult. If oil was $150 per barrel and going up, then investors would support Solar with much greater investment. Or if the government would create regulation that supports this investment and takes away the risk created by oil prices bouncing all over, then investors would jump in. Remember, through regulation and government subsidies we pump about $17 billion into the US oil industry every year. Let's move that money to Solar, Wind, Geo Thermo and others and kick our addiction to oil. Thus slow down the funding to terrorists!
I urge you ALL to support legislators that "get it". Ones that will get us some Federal monies to team up with ASU and private enterprise. Increasing the research and development of these ideas, adding jobs and getting it done before another country does. We want them to buy from us, not us buy from them!
Just my opinion...Jeff Cameron
