Let’s not waste more time. There are already sufficient renewable energy technologies which yield output many more times than the total energy needed to produce it.

The half-cent sales tax to fund street improvement, where is the money being spent? How long do we have to wait before road repair gets started? Every place I drive my vehicle the roads in the city are in very poor condition and it’s getting worse. Personally, I do not see anyone working to repair the roads I drive on. The poorly maintained roadways in the City of Tucson cause accidents since they create an enormous hazard to drivers.
This so-called victory does not serve anyone well — not liberals, conservatives or Independents. To hold-outs like Arizona representatives Andy Biggs and Paul Gosar, your short-term wins may result in McCarthy taking a long-term trip to Sicily.
