What's the opposite of Progress? Republicans.

Just now listening to a BBC story about a massive solar power plant in East Germany (made possible by government mandate) something profound occurred to me. With the new American administration and Congress, there's a real possibility that sustainable energy plants could actually be built in the United States. Think of the solar power potential of the American West--why hasn't anyone built solar power plants there yet? Because fossil fuel based power has been protected by the previous administration. In a very real way (and not just on this issue) the Republicans have been literally opposing and preventing progress.

Homade solar power

A couple of months ago I built my own solar panel for about 300.00 dollars, It saving me a fortune. I cant believe everyone is not doing this. I highly recommend this to anyone thinking of living off the grid or just trying to save money!
Also the new solar film or plastic that has been developed which is about the thickness of a credit card I think is going to be big in developing urban solar power grids in the near future.Implementing it by installing it on the windows or structure of high rise buildings and creating a solar grid in areas where space is a factor.
