Several Things
- Our dependence on oil and inability to force change about current energy policy
- The mass transfer of wealth and influence (out of this country) the above has created
- Elected officials who don't have the balls to make the hard calls and do the right thing, and an electorate who won't let them even if they wanted to
- Not having gone to nuke power decades ago (again, balls)
- Not using a fraction of the money uselessly spent in Irag to construct a solar farm in Nevada that is capable of providing all electricity needs of this country TODAY with currently available technology, with no greehouse gas emission.
- Not realizing the mass postive influence adapting technologies and priorities as stated above would have on our lost industrial base, job growth, economy, and quality of life.
- Not having the balls (again) to root out the Skillings, Enrons, Bear Stearns, et al that have hollowed out this country in the pursuit of personal greed at all costs.
- Shall I go on?
