Richard Wolf needs to run for president in 2024 on the people's party ticket

Yup and it would repay the country with trillions of dollars worth of electricity for decades to come. The Hover dam and the civial works programs planting trees has paid us back for nearly the last full century.

@deezeed2817 the USA is spending 1.5 trillion dollars on updating our nuclear weapons right now. The cost of new grid scale solar is $35 per megawatt hour. 1.5 trillion dollars divided by $35 you can do the math but that is an insane number of megawatt hours of electricity we could have instead of more nuclear weapons when we already have enough to blow the world up something like 15 times over. It isn't a question of funding it is a question of priorities. We have the money we choose to spend it on nuclear weapons instead of renewable energy.

We did that is what has made Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk more wealth than Rockefeller and his fellow barons of industry. The wealth have seen their wealth continue to grow in 2020 just like the roaring 20s a century ago. History tells you what fallows that...

@walden6272 so when someone cheats you you simply accept it as the way life has to be. Not me I choose to find a way to fix what is broken.

@Mike Arnold I guess you didn't read my post about the 1.5 trillion dollars the USA is spending on nuclear weapons. You haven't thought about the 5.5 trillion dollars we spent in 2020 and 2021 in covid relief. Or the 20 trillion dollars in newly minted money the federal reserve created in 2020 becoming the buyer of last resort for the stock market. It was 20 trillion dollars to make the V shaped recovery in stocks in 2020. That figure comes from Dylan Radigan you can Google him to find the details as YouTube deletes links. So the question of how do you pay for it was destroyed by the trump administration in 2020. Clearly we have the ability to install many megawatts of solar at $35 per megawatt hour when I just listed 7 trillion dollars the federal government found to spend in 2020 and 2021 for covid and nuclear weapons plus 20 trillion dollars that the federal reserve dumped into the stock market as brand new money. The government has proven beyond question that we can pay for the green new deal we just need to make it a priority.

Unfortunately the only thing that would bring us a boom is rebuilding our energy sector with renewable energy. That would create jobs across the entire country. But both parties are bought by the ff industry and the military industrial complex so we will spend 1.5 trillion dollars on nuclear weapons that have zero return on investment because if we use them we all die.
