"So when is it a crime to invest in what you believe in? Alternative energy sources need to be developed anyway in in order to reduce US dependence on foreign oil, to help stabilize, and even improve our economy through R&D and investments, to reduce our trade deficits (again, buying foreign oil), to reduce pollution (if not greenhouse gasses), and last but not least, to eliminate our need to meddle in the Middle East. There are many, many, many reasons as to why we SHOULD be reaching for these goals."
