It's great that you worked on that technology, you know it can be done.
I'm 73, I believe that mankind can survive on earth with limited change during what may be my lifetime. What I totally disagree with in terms of the right is the constant allegation that doing the green thing, the right thing, whatever you want to call it is a job loser.
We need to lead the world at making the needed improvements and it needs to take on the urgency of the Manhattan Project. Not panic, but change to make the world a better place.
Here in California fishermen have been catching fish that have never been seen this far North. It's great for the fishermen, but once the Summer sea temps go in excess of 75, class 1 hurricane's become possible. I'm not that concerned about Class 1, but as nice as it would be to swim in 80 degree ocean water, that could really create problems and as I understand it, our kelp forests could be victims of such temps.
I believe done properly measures that combat global warming could spur the economy, but to work for small business, their must be incentives that make it worth their while.
I recently had a discourse on National Debt vs National Worth. I've seen little reflecting it, but one paper I did see indicated that just the petroleum owned by the Govt. is worth more than 8 times our National Debt. My point is that with honest accounting, the U.S. actual worth is probably hundreds of times what our debt it. If we were honestly revealing what we're worth, the battles we fight over printing more money would become insignificant. I'm not speaking of standard accounting where everything is depreciated, I'm speaking of a real time assessment of what we're worth. I'm tired of politicians creating walls of worry before making any move, it's time that politicians from both sides of the aisle put Country above Party and do what's right.
