Last week I commented on Al Gore's renewable energy challenge. As I listen to the various political nay-sayers describe how unachieveable the idea is, I realize how much they don't get it.
The importance of a national priority challenge is to find a way to get it done!
Nay-sayers say that it would take 10 years are more to just 'agree' to get it done, and clear legal hurdles. Indeed, that is the most critical part of the challenge.
The challenge to 'walk on the moon by the end of the decade' was largely a technical challenge. It was achieved through technical innovation at a rate that would not have been achieved without the goal having been set.
The challenge to achieve 'all electricity through renewable energy' within 10 years is more legal and political. The technical capability largely exists. The innovation required by the challenge is different, but the mandate needs to be the same. Find a way to get it done, and it isn't by continuing 'business as usual'.
