Investment in renewables vs Cost of Iraq War

[Patrick]

Here is a graph comparing the cost of the Iraq War to our investment in alternative forms of energy:

Cost of the war in iraq compared to research and development of solar technology

Very good! I was wondering if someone had gotten around to making a graph of these figures. Our government's priorities and "investments" are very telling indeed.

The ground war and trying to make islamics "democratic" is so stupid. It is against their "religion"! Submarine based MIRVs could have taken out Afghanistan and Iraq for less than the amount the government is spending on solar. Then without the profiteering and also with enforcing our laws on immigration, we would not be heading toward an unGodly 9.8 trillion dollar debt. The debt to future generations from stupidity and greed today is going toward fatality for them..........

This would demonstrate that corperations and government can not be relied on when it comes to self disapline.{ OH hell I need a spell check } CSR, Moral/ ethical decisions.... etc.....

This is an example of why we have regulations, to prevent this kind of abuse.

Problem is is when People like the bush administrations undo the regulations, behind closed doors, under the discise of national security, where they can work in secret.

I hate to say this but we need total transparency in government and corperations.
