yes, but cars wouldn't have come to dominate the worlds transportation needs anywhere near as quickly as they did if it hadn't been for paved roads. and who paved all of the roads? remember, it was the government that payed the big 4 in huge tracks of land as well as cash subsidies to build the western end of the transcontinental railroad. in fact, the big 4 originally took on the herculean task of building the western end with no intention of actually completing it. they knew they'd get rich just building as much of it as they could and giving up somewhere in the sierras. the government has subsidized important technological innovations in this country for the last 150 years. that's an absolute, irrefutable fact. when the republicans make a huge deal out of this whole solindra thing, it's pure politics. the 5 or 6 hundred million, while not a small sum of money, isn't even a drop in the bucket of overall government spending. had it worked out, it would have been another great advancement in clean energy. i'm not saying the government should pick the winners and losers, but it's important that they keep investing in innovation. jeez, just look at what markets do to innovation. we're stuck at .001 when we should, at the very least be in the .003-.005 channel with the news and accomplishments we've got going for us right now. and we're not the only ones, the OTC bulletin board is filled with promising technology that's being shorted to death. i guess that's a little off topic...go AFPW!!!
