THINGS I'D LIKE TO BELIEVE - OR SULLIVAN'S MINISTRY OF PUBLIC ENLIGHTENMENT


Northfield - The headline sounds wonderful, "Inventor boasts of 'breakthrough' discovery in use of solar energy." Maryland inventor Ronald Ace believes his device can meet about "92 percent of the world's energy needs." Assuming it will work as he describes, I already envision local, state and federal government entities licking their lips in anticipation of increased revenue, precipitated of course by increased spending.

Sorry to be the one to break the news but it ain't gonna work here in the US of A folks. First of all, to be  given a 'green light', the company that would produce the solar energy would have to be headquartered in a nation that is not socialist. Then, perhaps, it'll be given room to breathe. Assuming once again that matters would occur that way, when the energy from Ace's device is piped into the U.S., it'll be CONTROLLED and taxed to death.

I just wonder which attempt will come first, the attempt to control Ronald Ace's contraption or control of the Internet? Either way I imagine their approach will be to offer it "free" to those with lower income. I mean, who would argue with THAT concept? Then, once that door is open a crack it will be kicked open all the way and, voila, Uncle Sam owns it all.

Germany's Third Reich had a 'Ministry of Public Enlightenment.' Look what it got them.
