Talk about deliberate, and sloppy, provocation. A little subtlety would go a lot farther than ham-fisted prodding like this.

I finally agree with comments by your good self! It is of course a wonderful idea, Whats more it would be successful. Lots of money , top minds,and the motivation to save the planet, couldn't miss. The sting in the tail of course is the fact that no Government would touch it because there would be no money in it for their mates. Well done Tim. I finally agree with comments by your good self!

The inevitable morphing of monopoly capitalism to outright fascism at home is the US's biggest problem morally, economically and financially. And please don't spruik for biofuels, it is a dangerous scam that will ensure mass starvation on a global scale and thus more war. Nice idea Timmy, but the trade deficit on energy is but a spit in the ocean of US debt and it’s cause/s. manufactures make up the single largest proportion of that.

The inevitable morphing of monopoly capitalism to outright fascism at home is the US’s biggest problem morally, economically and financially.

And please don’t spruik for biofuels, it is a dangerous scam that will ensure mass starvation on a global scale and thus more war.
