USA needs a vocation. I'm leaning toward new energy. Windmills and solar cells aren't it. Too complicated and too sensitive to weather and environmental conditions. Solar cells especially pose a threat due to rain water runoff. Will need large retention ponds. Land underneath will have aquifer effected. Just don't like the look of windmills. Don't worry, I will find an alternative for both of them.

USA needs help. We will never be able to compete with Chinese labor costs.

4. Nobody else is volunteering ! |

I used to think that we could do something by watching our labor costs, but there is no way to get down to 25 cents an hour. In order to generate a living as a country, there is going to have to be something really innovative.

7. Make Haliburton do community service. |

Force them to compartmentalize and mass produce Geothermal Electric plants that are mobile and reusable.
We could pay them, but we already did.
