Re: [GBlist] Solar Panel Export

Hi all:

Does it make me some kind of a kook to believe that alternative energy will 
*never* be supported by the US Gov't, because:

a) the petroleum lobby is too strong and has friends in high places

and, more importantly
b) if the American government could not make the American public look the 
other way or else actively cheer when they go to war for ostensible other 
reasons, but really to jockey for petro-power, how could they keep the 
enormous military engine working and supporting the inflated US economy?
With (I believe) 30 million people in the US employed in the military or 
related industries, you see the problem, I'm sure

The fact that a sword maker could be retrained to make ploughshares 
(figuratively speaking) and still support the economy in a more earth-friendly 
and necessary way seems not to have occurred to them.
