But Mr President, math is hard and you want us to do rocket science.
I remember that skeptics and the naysayers about the mobile phone, mini computers, battery powered cars and solar homes.
Ok, they are still around shooting down every high tech concepts out there riding into the sunset in their horse drawn wagons.:o
Differences...You think someone didn't run some numbers before JFK went before the microphone. At the time rocket technology was advancing by leaps and bounds...and they were willing to accept people dying to say they were first.
For the other items, the math works. For every exception, the naysayers are right 99 times.
Solar panels and batteries are not new technology and they have been trying for decades (first electric car was in the late 1800's). So again what earth shattering advance has been made that's ready to come to market now?
I'm still waiting for
Moller's M400 flying car.. i wish he would hurry up because I have been waiting since the 80's.
I have also been waiting for
Ford's Nucleon. Man, then I would have to fill up only once in my lifetime. No waiting at the pump you know!
BTW I'm still waiting for a new battery that crapped out in my electric car. They said another 3 months wait and it's already been 3 months. So a half a year without my car. Nice hu?
