With the money that has been pissed away in Iraq and the trillions ( that 700 billion is just what congress appropriated, the federal reserve has already passed out trillions thru the begging window) we taxpayers are on the hook for given to wall street, we could have built enough wind turbines and solar panels to generate enough electricity for every household in America. No more coal, no more natural gas, no nukes, all clean energy and far less dependance on foreign suppliers for energy. Add in some R & D for efficient electric cars and bingo, no more oil money to supply terrorists throughout the world. Gee, if I weren't so dumb that would sound like a win-win situation for the US, but what do I know.
