Think if back in the 50's if we progressed from their like China will. No pensions. No stock grants. No sick leave. No environmental concerns. No paying people for not working. No huge salaries past what they are worth to their economic system. I envy China's position. They can build it right, without our mistakes. Sure, our standard of living wouldnt be as high, but the efficiency of the system would be enhanced beyond anything we would have been capable of. ANYONE can print money. We thought we were special. Were not anymore.
Every single Preident since Gerald Ford and every congressman and senator has run on clean energy and get off dependence of oil,but American people and oil companies were not going to go for it,it took high oil and scarcity of it to move this country off it and on to better energy sources,of which we have always had technology to do...We will be the vtrue leaders in this field after we exhaust the worlds supply of oil,which was always the plan.then we will sell the technology abroad..IMHO
Sorry lloyd,your nuts if you think electric and car batteries are the answer,we can't even produce enough Elctricity now for all the tech gadgets we have and expanding population of new homes,ever heard of NIMBY?
plus the polution it causes with coal...It will either be Hydogen or Natural gas.
