No one wants to pay for it.

I want them to go forth and pick up trash, plant trees, purify the atmosphere, purify the water and the like.......

Seconded!

I really expect another Carrington Event (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrington_event/) first. No enemy necessary but the results would be the same.

Who care about blinding on coming traffic? I can see just fine!

Would someone explain to me where am I wrong?

I asked a question about a half a million lives?

As long as they were someone else's?

Doolittle's raid had little/no actual strategic value.

The price tag was..... I have read estimates that between 300 thousand to 1 million Chinese paid the ultimate price for getting the crews out.

Not taking away from the valor of the crew. They deserve our undying respect.

But, the price paid for it..... I wonder.

I will give up my Twinkie they pry my cold dead fingers from around it!!!!

What we need to do is have a Manhattan Project type effort to make fusion a reality. No waste. When you turn it off, it is off. We have to get off carbon for our progeny's sake. Ethanol and Biodiesel are worse than what they displace. Wind and Solar are fine but there is nothing like a 1 or 2 or more Giga-Watt power plant.

I love my Nook.

If we do not get off carbon fuel we selfish parents leave a dying world to our children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren.

Shut Up, Put down the G** D*** Computer and DRIVE! You are controlling a piece of heavy machinery that can do an INSANE amount of damage.

Just shut the F#@K up and drive. Your's and other's lives are in your hands. PERIOD.

Totally!

I just want a plain AFFORDABLE electric car. 100 miles a day on an over night charge. $20000 or less. What is so hard about that?
