re: #205 Hengineer

Follow the money my friend, until the prices of coal and oil go up, we will see only a half-hearted dispirited effort to look into other sources of energy. I’m completely on your side, but until we can completely wean ourselves off of foreign oil (let alone oil altogether!), all we can do is keep going.

I agree with you completely. However, it’s time the American public demanded action. We are being held hostage by foreign oil just like the Jihadists hold Islam hostage. It’s funny how a trillion dollars is going to bail out every Tom, Dick & Harry INC. Now imagine that money used to develop new energy sources. Who knows what new idea would pop out. Could you have predicted the iPod or iPhone 10 years ago? Where there is a will, there’s a way. If you wait till the prices of coal and oil go up, the entire economy will collapse. I personally don’t want to pay $10 for a loaf of bread. Is that what you are all waiting for?
