is (has been) at the root of many of our problems.......
take our dependence on oil for example
for how many decades have improvements to Automobiles
been ignored (suppressed) to maximize profit by the oil companies
Our electrical infrastructure is PATHETIC at best
Space age materials need to enter the mainstream
carbon nano-tube technology ALONE can re energize
our economy ...not to mention new battery technology
there's high tech insulation for martian lander's that could
vastly improve what we are using now....
and the use of ethanol has been a total failure -> worldwide
restrictions on BIOfuels for diesel engines needs radical modification...
and i like the Pickens plan for utilizing Natural GAS for
our tr#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g industry... plus the wind corridor out west
for wind turbines...
Americans are spending WAY to much money on Energy
which affects the price of all consumer goods....
for far too long
