But of course solar is not practical here.  Hilarious.  We knew about his solar panels  and ground source heat pump heating/cooling system though.  On the Bush family ranch in Crawford.

What's next?  National healthcare for Iraq?  A national renewable/conservation energy plan?  Give until it hurts america, we must fulfill the bushco administration's (cost plus, no bid, unlimited cost over run) contract with Iraq!

We can limp along on coal, nuclear, and ethanol powered financial and environmental disaster as usual.

From the LA times:

But Iraq's decision to embrace clean energy has little to do with cost cutting or the environment: The country's policymakers want to improve security, and the national grid doesn't supply enough electricity to illuminate city streets.

For Iraqis, the lack of reliable power has been one of the biggest frustrations of the war. The U.S. government has committed $4.91 billion to repairing the ravaged electricity infrastructure and bringing new generating units online. But most Iraqis can count on just a few hours of power a day.

Faced with another long, hot summer without sufficient electricity, an Iraqi journalist confronted a U.S. general at a news conference in spring and demanded to know why the military wasn't harnessing the sun's rays for the national grid.

  Reporters demanding solar on the basis of reliability?  Only in Iraq, the inheritor of the former american dream.  Hehehey.  Good joke on US, duuhbya.  Yer doin' a heckuva job, bushie.
