Dr. Doom Roubini is scared – economy worse than predicted

[afx114]

[quote=gandalf]Also, I think technological innovations related to energy supplies could really boost our economic outlook. An efficient electric car produced here in the US, for example. Powering SoCal’s energy grid with ‘farms’ of solar panels. Could turn things around…[/quote]

Agreed. This is the only way that I see that the USA getting out of this. Add stem cell research to the list. Imagine leading the world in these three areas, and exporting it all to the rest of the world. Magic bullet? Unfortunately, everyone else has a 5-15 year head start on us with respect to auto, energy, and stem cells.

Wow – there are more liberal nut jobs on this board than I thought.

I think zeit is 100% correct.

If you think these so-called green jobs are going to make a dent in this DEPRESSION you are out of your mind.

In the short and medium term, green technologies almost always translates into higher costs for consumers (ie. higher electric bills) not to mention the up front costs. Long term is still an experiment.

Solar farms all over So Cal will save the world, whoopeee! Reality check: it ain’t gonna happen.

Damn hippies.

I you can’t see that all lefties are reasonable and responsible people who make things work in real life, and all righties are sadists who bring disaster to their countries, then you are an idiot. Did I get that about right, BGinRB? [/quote]

No, you did not get that right, but I can see how a non-analitical mind could misunderstood a single sentence that I wrote.

Konrad Adenauer, Charles de Gaulle and Winston Churchill were all ‘righties’ who greatly improved lives of their countrymen.
On the other hand, you have socialists like Bettino Craxi who managed to afflict great damage to his country. Success of charlatan Berlusconi can be linked back to Craxi’s work.
On the other hand, some might think of Craxi as a great leader since he was instrumental in preventing Italian Communist Party from ascending to the prime minister’s position.

Edit: removed a couple of references.
