[DMCForum] Re: The economy sucks.

["cruznmd" <racuti1@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I agree with you mostly, but Kennedy said "We will go to the moon by 
the end of the decade", and we did. Government can make something 
that works. That said, I'm not saying the -GOV- should develop these 
means, but they could at least provide better incentives for private 
corporations to develop them.

If I understand what you're saying, you're implying that once oil 
energy becomes so expensive as to be unprofitable, this will force 
energy companies to overcome their inertia and develop alternate 
sources. Just as consumer desire for safer vehicles caused federal 
mandates which forced auto makers to make more saftey feature 
standard in cars today.

I hope I have that right.
