Or maybe right ON time, but just not convincing. Too bad, by now we might all be driving electric cars, have solar panels, no risk of global warming, no trade deficit, the Mid-East would be of no concern. Oh well...

"He was obviously WAY ahead of his time with his energy thinking. Or maybe right ON time" He was spot on. If Reagan hadn't of killed those R&D programs, some would have been commercialized by now. Can't really say if they would have made things much better, but things certainly wouldn't be worse. I remember that TI was working on some tiny, spherical solar cells. The idea was to put them in water and they would generate hydrogen from sunlight. That always sounded neat to me.
