The Environment

And so this 313 mpg Volkswagen is banned in the US...why?
Why would we ban innovation? 313 mpg!!!!!? Conspiracy? Oil companies owning our government? Safety? If you look at a study of the safest value family cars only one is from an American company.//editorial.autos.msn.com/10-best-values-in-family-cars-2014-
Our country is also trying to kill Tesla. So that Oil companies can continue to murder our country. Innovation is dead in America and I cannot understand why our government wants is that way.

Why should we let them keep killing our Environment?
BP keeps spilling.

Innovation

In a summation...When we, as Americans were hard at the work of discovery, we were innovating. We were doing tough things that were only being done by us. And the complexities that we were engineering were not understood by other countries. This spilled into other industries that involved engineering to say the least. Our jobs were not going overseas then because no one else could do our jobs. Why and when did we think it was okay for us to give up our jobs and pay others to do it for us?

if you put Americans in the spots of the jobs that you purport that they are not intelligent enough for I guarantee that they get the job done. If you pay them what they are worth i guarantee you see your huge profits continue to be huge profits.

But, bees are being killed off by GMO insecticides that were approved by the FDA and EPA. Beees are vital for human survival. What are these government programs doing if they are just ignoring the very duty they were set up for?

Recycle, Please.

Sweden converts so much of its trash for energy that it has to import trash from other countries. It puts 4 percent to landfills. Why are we so much behind Sweden?

Felix Baumgartner jumps

...jumps out of balloon from about 23 miles up. Atleast one implication of this event is to see eventually if astronauts can survive disaster in outer space.

It's good, but is it progress?
SpaceX is sending a rocket up to the ISS for a private company first. Now that two, (actually 3) companies are working together for a common goal, I just wonder if down the line the co.'s squabble about the small stuff like coupler sizes and such.
I just don't know if NASA stepped way back and now we are trying to catch up. Otherwise congratulaions to SpaceX. Keep truckin' it.

Oh, really, what have you been doing up there?
The government funded NASA has fizzled our tax dollars while private enterprise has used less money to save it and build their own machines. Meanwhile our taxpayer moolah has paid for a so far successful military space endeavour.

we won't try to survive off this planet until we have to, and then it will be too late
