Imagine if...

Iraq war costs total $300 billion with future costs for injured vets of anywhere from $1-2 trillion. All to secure US interests in oil from the Middle East.


Imagine if that $300 billion was spent developing an ethanol industry and infrastructure that takes advantage of a renewable source of energy available right here, right now...

Imagine if the future $1-2 trillion was earmarked for fuel cell technology and the supporting infrastructure...

Imagine if 1% of those future costs were put into NASA for development of as yet unknown technologies that could further lessen/eliminate the "addiction to oil".


An energy-independent America.


Imagine if...

1. Imagine Bush, Cheney and his cronies

on a street corner with a tin cup begging for spare change.

3. With a great big

pair of red, white and blue boots lodged up thier asses.

2. And just imagine if there was no usable oil in the 'conquered' land,

and/or this oil cabal couldn't get their dirty hands on it. :eyes:

4. I so agree

I posted something similar a while ago. If all that money was spent on renewable energy technology, we'd be in great shape.

5. Well, we being the massive majority. But think of the poor oil companies

They could be the modern-day whip and buggy companies.
