A recent Wall Street Journal front page headline (Monday, July 9) announced that the development of alternative energy in the U.S. was being impeded by a shortage of windmills. This reinforced my suspicions that the free market isn't going to wait for Congress to quit dithering over how -- in President Bush's own words -- to reverse this country's "addiction" to fossil fuels. Clearly demand for alternative energy sources was driving market activity, regardless of what Congressional nay-sayers and global warming skeptics who profess their unshakeable belief in the free market are saying on the topic.

I laid out some thoughts on this subject in an article that was just posted on Ethical Corporation On-Line. Here's the link. Take a look, and let me know what you think.
