How developed would solar technology be by now if US tax $$ to steal oil had been put into solar dev. instead?

We Answered:

Hi,

Good question..

and YES it would be highly developed with all the money pumped into it.. unfortunately.. Bush and his cronies would not make money out of solar the way they make money out of oil.. so it was preferred to invade Iraq , concoct a load of lies.. and try steal its oil.. than actually develop your own technology to solve your own self made problems.. and lets face it.. Iraq has nothing to do with the fact Americans are the greediest over-consumers of rubbish on this planet.. but sadly.. they paid the price for it.. because they got the oil Americans need to produce more junk..

What is wrong with our intercity transportation system?

We Answered:

No one wants to volunteer the money to switch over the system to electric. All the companies that thrive off supplying trains with lots of diesel all those companies that have to repair the track frequently, all will do what ever they can to prevent a switchover. Its all about the money. Also to replace or upgrade infrastructure would not only be a huge undertaking but a huge finical burden.
