LOL!!
"So, go ahead and loan, bail-out, or restructure the big three, but nationalize them so we can control them, and benefit from any profits in the future. "
the govt is going to run a WHOLE US industry vs private enterprise around the world, they are gonna make great cars that we are all gonna wanna buy AND make a profit!! OMG what planet do you live on. Maybe they will be able to get some wage concessions HAHA or cut back on the fat and legacy costs hoho. the tears, I just cant see anymore..........
"Get Silicon Valley idealist-entrepreneur-capitalists together with Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Boone Pickens, and Obama's "Secretary of Technology" and build an energy infrastructure that incorporates coal, wind, solar, nuclear, and fossil fuel as interchangeable energy sources for a nationwide electric grid."
Gates knows old computers and how to give away money, buffett knows about "name brands". Pickens might know how and where to dig a hole and anyone that accepts the poistion of "Tech czar" either isnt or has nothing else to do. Idea isnt bad though, youd think private enterprise with a profit motive would do a better job then a bunch govt employees. Now if the govt could clear the opstacles, NIMBY, Green piece, lawyers, "filing requirments", impact studies" etc maybe it could be done THIS century.
"Then build the grid, put the best minds into making the best rechargeable batteries"
the best minds ARE working on it NOW. Sorry you dont like the results. Physics are somewhat difficult to get around.
"and retool Detroit to produce electric cars. "
GOOD electric cars at affordable prices that are better then the others out there. Cool!
"At the same time look ahead to hydrogen fuel cell technology as the next step a few years' out."
GOOD hydrogen cars at affordable prices that are better then others out there. Cool!
Somehow "made by the US Govt" and quality good priced cars just doesnt ring likely.
"OK, I've created new jobs for a million people "
yeah, government jobs. Why not guarentee all citizens a job? we can nationalize all the industries and really run things effeciently. |
