sorry, my bad--i should have said 3 percent. just $2 invested at 3 percent compounded for 700 years will get you hundreds of quadrillions, maybe a quintillion. you do the math -g-.

A combination of renewable resources and conservation can replace the present wasteful habits. Nuclear energy works fine but there's no will to put it into place. Solar has hardly been tried. The almost continuous winds blowing across the prairies are full of energy. The earth itself is one huge nuclear reactor with limitless heat inside if you drill deep enough--and near the surface in some places. All these sources have been demonstrated and some are even producing power right now at competitive rates. But they are competing with a few unrealistic pie-i-the-sky projects such as hydrogen fuel cells and corn-based ethanol. Having had my view of the street from the end of my driveway dangerously obstructed by a huge SUV from Texas with a "I'M PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN" bumper sticker on it yesterday, so that my Prius was in danger of being totaled as I set off for the grocery store, I am totally out of patience with my fellow "'muricans," their pride, their ignorance, and their unwillingness to sponsor rational approches.
