President Barack Obama sent lawmakers a budget package today (Thursday) that proposes to shrink or eliminate 121 federal programs and save almost $17 billion in the fiscal year that begins Oct. 1. But the budget plan contains cuts that will face vigorous opposition in Congress and fierce resistance from special interest groups.

There’s lots of money to be made in the “clean energy” sector…Maybe more so now than ever before. My confidence in the investment potential of renewable energy gained some interesting corroboration the other day.

The other day I had lunch with a “brain trust,” of sorts. Participants included a retired executive from an aerospace company. This guy helped design and build many of the reconnaissance satellites that the U.S. has launched. There was a senior executive from a large steel company. There was a venture capitalist who made his first $500 million in the software industry, and who now has much of that wealth spread around in biotech and nanotech startups. There was a former senior political appointee who worked in the Treasury Department. And then there was me.

There is a much better way to generate nuclear energy, says Patrick Cox. Thorium is more efficient, more abundant and less hazardous than uranium. Patrick says it is government subsidies and regulations are blocking the widespread use of thorium. But if Obama removes these barriers, it could become the ultimate alternative energy.
