Speaking of life lines to Twitter - guess who is following Dr. Bob Glass! You can draw your own conclusions - President Barack Obama. Thought that was interesting out of millions of people to follow Dr. Bob is selected to be one of the ones the president follows.
So I clicked on the presidents link and his latest retweet was they were looking for feedback:
RT @whitehouse: "Advise the Advisor": New series explains what the President’s up to, asks for your ideas. Plouffe up 1st: http://wh.gov/xcY

So I wrote to Advise the Advisor:
I’m glad you asked!!! Quantum Material Corp/Solterra Renewable Technologies has to go overseas to Saudi Arabia to get funding. We lost one of America’s best researchers and published authors on solar energy from ASU, Dr. Jabbour, to KAUST University. WHY ARE WE LETTING OUR BRAINS and TECHNOLOGY go and have to go overseas in order to develop and grow. KAUST has the vision of being the MIT of the world, AND THEY ARE SUCCEEDING! Saudi Arabia has the vision to be to the solar industry what they are currently to the oil industry. Why would we let that happen? Where is our vision? Charity starts at home and investing in the disruptive & innovative technologies such as QMC/Solterra has developed so it can be developed in other countries where THEY will put THEIR people to work making and building solar farms and electrical grids (euro-supergrid) does nothing to support our economy or future. All that is needed now is the political will and the right framework of incentives. Why can’t the US undertake building a whole new energy efficient city from the ground up to be the ENERGY CAPITAL of the south?
And the nanotechnology industry that has been in the making for 20 years has to wait longer even though commercially the product (Tetrapod Quantum Dots) are now able to be manufactured to support commercial applications because funding isn’t available unless you want to give your business away to the VC’s. QMC/Solterra had to go to JAPAN and use JETRO for introduction to other companies for product development that are doing research on QDLED’s, next generation TV’s, Lasers, Solar cells, waste heat recovery systems, etc… Why are Japanese companies so hospital to innovation?

Instead of giving away billions in foreign aid how about investing in education, new companies that have proven innovative technology and technology development at the universities where product development will create jobs and increase the tax base in the future.



That's my take on it right or wrong.
