And greed does not make us suffer, greed improves our lives.

I do not associate generating a good income with greed. I associate greed with manipulation, deceit and oppression. Wanting to improve one's life is not, IMHO, a greedy desire. I think I understand your statement, regardless.

SO, if you and I had the capital, technology and political influence, would we not implement a cheaper form of alternative energy to the US consumer and line our pockets with dough? I certainly would....I'd look at it more as an opportunity to stick it up the Wazzoo of OPEC and make a good income and help out country tremendously. So, in some aspects, with my desires, you're on the money!!
