I love the energy efficiency idea, and met a guy who worked for a company which installs solar panels. Seems that his boss couldn’t get enough materials to sell, and the prices that the solar panels cost were brutal (they are hard to get a hold of). As they couldn’t do high volume, their cost to install was so crazy that it would take many, many years to get back the cost.
We need an immediate high-production solar panel industry, we need to set the price and put huge rebates on it. Most other countries aren’t afraid to pump money into new technologies, sad thing is that we usually invent them, but can’t get our entrenched business cartels to go for it.
p.s. The Maglev train was invented here. Our gov’t gave 50K to MIT et. al. to sponsor some research. The Germans, French, and Japanese actually created the trains… Probably have less Republican’s running around those places…. Greedy, evil Republican’s… (Just kidding – you know which Republican’s are causing the problems…)
