US President Barrack Obama has reiterated the importance of
developing alternative energy sources in his State of the Union. Emphasis was
given particularly to the wind energy sector as Bryan Ritterby, an employee of
wind technology company Energetx Composites, sits
beside the First Lady.
Developing alternative energy sources is very important to
an energy hungry country like the United States. With globalization and
tendencies of manufacturing companies to outsource manpower to other countries
that can provide cheap labor, it is essential for the US to find other means to
generate income. Having a well-developed alternative energy industry will not
only contribute to fuel independence but it will also open avenues for
exporting hugely abundant natural gas to other countries.
