Should I point out that over 400 wind generators will soon be installed within 20 miles of here? Or that a company which makes wind turbines and another the makes the blades have already opened here? Or that a plant that manufactures the polysilicon for solar cells will ship its first product before the end of this year?

Welcome to Pocatello, Idaho -- where we're making the future of US energy production.

And by the way -- Idaho National Laboratory is just up the road, where they're working on safer nuclear generators and new ways to clean up nuclear waste by re-using it.

And the Idaho Accelerator Laboratory, part of Idaho State University, where they installing a "rabbit" to make isotopes for nuclear medicine.

Not all the energy news is bad....
