Reply #4: The TOTAL ECONOMIC MELTDOWN scenario [View All]

[snowFLAKE]

Remains perplexing to me.

First, we can spend $200 billion at the drop of a hat BLOWING THINGS UP. What if we spent it instead on installing solar panels on everybody's roof? At $20,000 per home, in 10 years the entire country would be solar (Yeah, I know that doesn't solve all problems, but it's a step). Plus, that's be $2 trillion into the USA economy and out of the Saudi/Bush gang.

Also, there's an estimate 200-500 years of domestic coal left (don't ask me how I Know - except that I read that in This Forum so I suspect it must be true). Apparently the Nazi's were able to convert their economy to a coal-derived-oil economy in short order - and since some would claim that Nazi's are now running Our Country - we should be All Set. Maybe not forever, but for at least 3 years (and Yeah, it'll suck for the enviroment, but as long as The Economy remains strong, who cares?)
