It is time for promoters of all forms of clean energy to come together on policy issues. I understand the various companies may compete in the marketplace, but there are so many areas of legislative agreement on climate change and competition between the promoters of renewables and those for efficiency. One area of possible conflict, which I hope your army can settle, is over transmission wires. The wind promoters need more wires to move their electricity to customers, but the distributed generation promoters seem to be suggesting that more wires are not needed. Well put.

Politicians need to think beyond the cute pictures of solar collectors and wind turbines to see the real opportunities for clean energy. Energy efficiency advocates need to tell their story better.

Someone willing to speak some common sense. We face serious environmental challenge, and advocates of clean energy need to stop fighting among themselves. The stakes are too high. I read your op-ed in yesterday's Detroit Free Press. I hope Michigan lawmakers, particularly Governor Granholm and Representative Dingell, are listening. This state, which has had more than its share of tough economic challenges, needs to realize that clean energy can help Michigan improve its economy as well as its environment. Keep up the great work. Finally. Someone willing to speak some common sense. We face serious environmental challenge, and advocates of clean energy need to stop fighting among themselves.

It's about time clean energy advocates stop fighting among themselves. The nation and the world need as much efficiency, solar, wind, and recycled energy as possible. Keep up the great work.
