...good thing. Greens support alternative energy, like wind or solar, because it helps de-carbonize our energy supply and reduce pollution. Skeptics support it because with rocketing fossil fuel prices - and the U.S.'s increasing dependence on oil imported from less-than-friendly regimes - renewables can offer homegrown, politically safe price relief.
