It's staggering when you think about what $23 billion could really accomplish outside the Federal money grinder.

Cut the Federal Budget across the board 10%/year for 10 years.

This is just a medium sized program for the Feds. Gives you some perspective to view the apoplectic fit the chattering class had when Exxon/Mobil made a measly $7 billion (2/3 of it outside the country).

I dont know, but I doubt it. I bet we need an ENERGY CZAR that kicks ass and takes names. Were I Bush I would make a BIG SPLASH over that and attempt to streamline and revamp it. For that kind of money we ought to be able to solve ALL OUR ENERGY problems quickly. There is NO WAY private enterprise is going to match that. jdn
