The Government is holding out on us?

Our government, be it state or federal, is doing us all a huge disservice. I say that because all we hear about is Global Warming and how we need Cap and Trade legislation which we on the Right side of the Political Isle call Crap and Tax.

Our government is spending billions and billions of our tax dollars on technology that does not work or is, at best, taking current technology down a notch or two.

We know for a fact that ethanol reduces the mpg in most cars of today because it has far less energy in it than good old fashioned gasoline. We also know that there are a number of competing sources of energy that are cleaner and cheaper than ethanol yet the government is ignoring them.

Here is yet another example of an American, without government help, coming up with a viable source of energy that could be used in homes, cars and maybe even in large industrial environments. Its one of those "aha" moments when you watch the video and you think, why the hell did we not come up with this idea sooner.

We didn't come up with this idea because unlike the government back in John F Kennedy's day, our government is not about a national goal to find the best solution to a problem, it is a government bent on dishing out solutions that fit the lobby of our seats of power. It it means money in a Senator or Congressman's pocket then that is what gets pushed. And that my friends, threatens our very freedom.
