And, have you considered maybe they won't because there is no market for it? Are we going to be looking at a damaged earth saying - "What happened, how come no one did anything about it?" And - the answer is "Money?" Come on! We (as a nation) can blow money, say 350 million for only six Trident missiles but how come we can't put that into a highly advanced technical company in another country that is well qualified to develop the technology that can only help the world? >You make yourself sound like an arrogant American that > thinks only Americans have the know-how to solve the problem. I do? Let me be clear here, many Americans just don't give a sh*t, it is money out of their pocket. I also believe other countries are far ahead of us with know-how, and looking ahead. You sound like you have some personal involvement in all this, maybe through your employment or maybe your investments? > I don't see how this is a "money talks" stance specific for our nation. You don't? For instance: the tax credits have to _at least_ equal the added expense to the consumer, but should actually be more. >Should our government mandate this equipment and make everyone pay > the higher prices? No, they should develop or fund something that doesn't cost as much. They should also lead by example, which you say that they have by setting requirements to convert. But, I have yet to see it around here on the east coast. Did they give themselves a cut-off date? >That doesn't sound like a free country to me; that > sounds like the nanny state. Yeah, well our leader sets a great example.
