YES! This is exactly what the US of A needs to do. We need to work together, the way we did in WW2. Our resources were focused on getting the job done, and the Manhattan project was an intense dedicated commitment to a possibility, a hope, a chance that we could use the secret of the atom to end the war. Unfortunately it ended up as a bomb, but we now have power plants and medical technology that uses the science that came out of Oak Ridge. We can do it again. We can learn how to do what every blade of grass can do. We can use the free, eternal and beneficent rays of the sun to power our lives. The faster the world leaves the oil economy behind, the better off we all will be.
