Currently the only forms of energy with potential to exist without support from government are wind and solar, so if you truly are an advocate for unsubsidized energy, you should support the forms of energy that have a clear roadmap to becoming cost effective without needing subsidies (although I doubt you'd like to pay the true cost of electricity, gas, or goods being transported).  

To cut your own aggravation over dealing with a teen,you might want to think about having a carrot and a road map to increase the likely hood he will follow through and that you won't have to nag him to follow through.The carrot, maybe something he likes, or thinks is adult-like, such an afternoon at the driving range and lunch out somewhere he chooses for the two of you.The road map, a (short) bulleted list of say 3 books (maybe eBooks he can read on his phone)A test to ensure he has read them by pretending you have not read them yet, and have him "Teach You" what was in the books before he can earn the carrots.And if it were me I'd start with Rich Dad Poor Dad as number 1.Good Luck!

I am not asking for a formula, or a roadmap, instructions, a step by step guide.

Her Passion is the #1 key to success but it must be supported with a roadmap and clarity of objectives.

Both of those articles were great, and the "How to Make a Million Dollars in Real Estate" one is a great road map.

Joshua - Thanks for the roadmap on how best to approach the amount of information on the site.

A mentor may provide a road map but implementation is not easy.
