What'll it be: bickering or development?

Ah, can we cool the bickering long enough to do something *constructive* for the future of the country?

If we don't take advantage of our strengths in research by developing high tech products and manufacturing them here, it isn't going to matter much what else we do.

Perhaps electing some grown-ups to sit in the U.S. House of Representatives might be a good first step.

Biofuels for national security?

This may or may not be the way to go for the long term, and *certainly* it's not the way to go if food like corn is used as the source of the fuel, but for something of a medium-term, stop gap, let's-not-get-caught-with-our-pants-down move, it might be necessary. --CLOates 23 September 2011 (Fall hath fell!)

from Facebook's Repower America:

Former Senator John Warner praised the Department of Defense for its outstanding leadership on clean energy and energy efficiency innovation and deployment. The Pentagon is working to make more 500,000 buildings and vehicles at 500 military installations worldwide more efficient in an effort to reduce their staggering energy bills and our dependence on dirty fuels.
