" . . . but energy cost in America is one of the cheapest in the world because that cost is nationalized. The cost is picked up by the tax payer in the form of military expense. Why not instead be very progressive to look to those jobs that will meet tomorrows needs? New great jobs based on just those "proprietary knowledge" that you rationalize away as meaningless that great successful American companies have now?" [emphasis added] Why not be progressive and cut military expenses? You understand they keep energy prices artificially low (probably not for too much longer as demand falls slower than supply is falling) and make possible a consumerism that is no longer sustainable, not to mention the damage being done by the US all over the world. BTW: The US military is one of the largest US consumers of petroleum products .
