The greed-virtue dichotomy that pits the private sector against public interest is greatest fraud perpetrated on the public.
Corruption is the thread that binds govt and big business not unlike the fascism that propelled the 3rd Reich. And its corruption that taints the alternative energy efforts.
I’m also interested in the potential of new energy sources, but not the way the Marxists want it to happen — by iron-fisted force at any and all costs.
There’s a role for govt in the evolution of energy and sciences, but given the level of its current involvement, I’m having difficulty considering any role it deserves at the moment.
I used to believe in the role of government funding basic research, but after the Global Warming scam of the last 40 years, I don’t even believe in that any more. The only reason GW is still around is it has turned into a multi-billion dollar “industry.” Tens of thousands of profs are churning out hundreds of thousands of grad students and all are getting the same “correct” results that lead to more research contracts. Basic science has been thoroughly corrupted by government funding and is now totally rotten.
