Who says Solar Energy is weak?

Where did Hurricane Katrina get it's energy?

Hint: it didn't come from nuclear, coal. oil or natural gas . . . and it only took a few days to build up!

So do you think it would be more likely to convince the collective American psyche to embark upon:

1. a massive project to build a floating, vertical axis paddle fan with 200 to 300 mile diameter blades than could turn part of the power of hurricanes into electricity, thus tempering the increasingly deleterious effects of imaginary global warming? or . . .
   
2. a long term plan to methodically and agressively support and increase the growth of already proven solar energy technologies?

Hint: People do the darndest things!
