The U.S. needs to be a leader in alternative energy if it is to motivate the world to pursue greener technology. Especially after the recent fatal explosion and resulting oil spill off of the Gulf Coast, there is a sense of urgency. The failures of offshore drilling cannot be ignored, and fossil fuels are unsafe, unhealthy, and unethical.
