1. To the best of knowledge, the share of renewable energy in the U.S. in 2008 stood at approximately mere two percent, but now it is within sight of 11 percent.
Maintaining the current pace, the U.S. could overtake EU members by 2020.
As such, it's not that challenging.
Plus, the U.S. is unbeatable in software tech that functions as a human brain and is fundamental to renewable energy, smart grid.
2. We won't have to wait for a breakthrough in battery technology.
Tesla EV battery cost is expected to be at 1/3 of the existing price.
If (Tesla's battery structure) works, we won't have to wait for a breakthrough in battery technology to develop a relatively cheap electric vehicle. It could be as low as one-third of the cost of batteries being developed by car makers, because (laptop) batteries are produced in massive volumes.
Executive Vice President Takeshi Uchiyamada who heads Toyota's research and development claimed.

** Inaction cost, $9trillion over the next decade, ((Some of CBO analysis : While the costs of the financial bailouts and economic stimulus bills are staggering, they are only a fraction of the coming costs from Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. Over the next decade, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projects that each year Medicaid will expand by 7 percent, Medicare by 6 percent, and Social Security by 5 percent. These programs face a 75-year shortfall of $43 trillion--60 times greater than the gross cost of the $700 billion TARP financial bailout)).

Let’s be clear. These tax cuts will do little or nothing to stimulate the economy despite the hollow claims of Congressional Republicans and conservative pundits. According to a Moody’s report, making the Bush tax cuts permanent will lead to 30 to 35 cents of economic stimulus for every $1 U.S. give up in federal revenue. That’s a very poor investment. By comparison, revitalizing the nation’s infrastructure or extending unemployment benefits will lead to roughly $1.60 in economic stimulus for each $1 U.S. spend.
Sanders' amendment calls for stripping out the tax breaks for the wealthiest 2 percent. That money would have instead been spent on deficit reduction and infrastructure needs.

The reps' Economic Plan = Going Back to Failed Bush Economic Policy
Republican congressman Mike Pence says Tax cut package won't help create jobs !
Back when Bush was pushing his tax cut packages through Congress in 2001 and 2003, supporters said the cuts (which weren't balanced with spending reductions) would initiate an era in which the American economy would grow so robustly the nation would be running a surplus of more than $5 trillion at the scheduled expiration date. U.S. now is facing a $14 trillion deficit.
In sharp contrast, Former President Bill Clinton left a record surplus, despite the warning of potential economic disaster over tax increase for the wealthiest.
