Alternative Energy is Good...But is it Our Highest Priority ?

It is in our best interest to focus some of our attention ( and money ), as a nation, on alternative energy. At this point in time, however, should it be our top priority?

As of last year California has spent $1.6 billion on renewable energy projects, while wide spread budget cuts undermined the funding of arguably more paramount programs such as those supporting public education and child care serveries. It is important that we are mindful of the future, but isn't it just important to keep in m ind the present?
