I'll happily eat my words, but I doubt we're going to see a whole lotta trickle-down into renewable energy soon, even if the Dems pull this off. They'll likely only going to be able to make the case for the Gulf of Mexico offshore royalties before the 2008 election, and that's really not a lot of money in the grand scheme of things. Maybe the solar subsidies will be augmented a little? Or maybe Washington will help accelerate pluggable hybrid development and throw money Detroit's way?

Maybe there'll be more. But like I said, I'll be pleasantly surprised.
