Back in the hoary days of Clinton's first term I did alternative energy design. We ran some numbers - a solar panel 100 miles on a side parked in the middle of the Nevada desert would provide all the energy the United States was currently using. Now all you gotta do is buy the panel, right? Well, and string it up. Makes a point though. What if, instead of spending a billion a week for three years killing Iraqis, we'd spent a billion a week on solar panels? Problem is the wrong republicans get rich then.
