Before World War II, there were more people employed
making candy in the United States than making airplanes. The war drove the
productive capacity of the nation and transformed the aerospace industry into an
economic and technical powerhouse, improving the lives of people in previously
unimagined ways.
That industry spun off advances in materials,
communication, digital processing, space exploration and more.
Whether we are aware of it or not, we are at war
again.
I do not mean ISIS or terrorism, grave though those
threats are. We are at war with the earth. The planet and the implacable laws of
nature are trying to slowly kill us.
We must rally the human resources of our country and
world again and and create new industries based on cheap, clean, renewable
energy. By doing this, we will both protect our environment and take another
quantum leap into the
future.
