The industrial revolution has been dissolving since the 1970's, yet we continue forward as if nothing has changed. The political movement to bail out every large company in trouble will prove to be a bottomless pit from which recovery is impossible. If the free market cannot support it, let it fail. Bush-style trickle down economics has been a disaster over the last eight years so why the same knee jerk reaction now? We need to completely get away from legacy technologies that are too expensive and poison the environment. The United States should embark on a high priority project to invent new energy systems instead of spending money on planes and bombs for a war that should have been over years ago. We did it during the 40's when we developed the atomic bomb. All possible non-pollution alternatives need to be considered in the quest to free the United States from dependance of foreign oil. A national high speed electric rail system to be implimented like the freeways were in the 1950's. The only answer I see is a new and improved form of nuclear power. Where possible use solar, geothermal and wind systems that integrate into the nuclear based grid. Perhaps we could prop up Dubya along with his moss back cronies and put them in a rat wheel to generate all the electricity we need. Condoleeeezma could fry up some chicken and Laura could give makeup lessons to transvestites. I am sure we will figure it out!
