Reply #52: Mentioning Apollo

[alvarezadams]

while talking about around $2 billion between R&D and incentives for hybrid cars is just what I mean by "rhetoric".

The Apollo Program cost ONE HUNDRED BILLION DOLLARS (1994 dollars, if you will) if one counts the initial prep programs. That would be 248.83 billion @ 2005 terms, or approximately, or rather less than what our little Iraqi adventure has cost us so far... an adventure fought for oil fwiw.

So you see the rhetoric now?
