Its a disgusting habit that you should try to break. I’d like to point out that telling people who disagree with you to move to a different country is called Jingoism.

That's like 2 weeks to a months salary per person. I would hope some people could save that much up and buy some stock and some solar panels or something. Because, honestly, do you really want to entrust your livelihood to any form of government? oh, and if you take Uncle B’s figure of 650 billion (I have no idea if that’s right).

I think the US should invest in renewable energies. What does Canada exporting energy have anything to do with what I said? I was suggesting places with more socialistic policies. Apparently you don't have enough money to invest in companies developing renewable technologies. That must be very sad for you seeing as how they will probably make a lot of money some day.

The average American does not have the money to invest in renewable energy. Would you like to know why? Because the GOVERNMENT HAS THEIR MONEY. Privatizing energy is absolutely moronic. You pay taxes with the expectation that your needs will be met. Oh, and by the way, Canada exports energy to the US. Imbecile.

I can easily imagine a similar effort to achieve something like what Uncle B envisions. Let's have a concerted national effort to solve the sustainable energy problem. As for Millard, you crack me up! When the sun goes nova, we'll just have to store away some of the extra energy. That will surely last us until the universe stops expanding and time starts running backwards. :-) The US has (in the past) been able to marshall its resources to achieve greatness, like when Eisenhower built the interstate freeway system, or JFK sent us to the moon.

The Sun will eventually die someday. Granted it will be a long time from now but probably sooner than never. I would be interested in hearing how you've helped the proliferation of solar power in the United States. Invested in solar companies? Taken your home off the grid? Or do you just send your time bitching about other people on the internet? Some people would argue it's not the place of the government to provide cheap electricity to others and instead private companies should be developing these technologies. We are, in fact, a very non-socialist country. May I suggest to you moving somewhere that you may fit in better. Canada or Germany perhaps. Maybe Russia, we all know they prefer renewable energies over using their own natural resources for strategic power... FOREVER and NEVER are very strong terms Uncle B.

It would have paid every energy bill in the U.S.A. for maintenance fees only - FOREVER! It would be equivalent to an oil field that can NEVER run dry! Low cost electric power, and storeable hydrogen gasoline replacement from the electricity, for all! After the millions of murders, and $650 billions of dollars, borrowed from our children’s futures and pissed away, with thousands of our own and others maimed and disfigured for life, millions of families utterly destroyed, ours and theirs, we are no closer to Iraqi oil production than the Iraqis are! The next time you hear a blithering idiot spoiled brat, drunken, drug addicted, sociopath, rich Arabic saber dancing daddie’s boy oilman, stand at a microphone and threaten YOUR safety with someone ELSE’S weapons, remember what you lost America, remember, and weep!
