Energy Scarcity vs. Cost of the War in Iraq

Unfortunately, it's not in Denmark that something is rotten.

Now wait a second here. You're saying that we could be spending this war money in areas that would actually HELP us? Maybe even help us not need to go to war. That's just crazy talk.

 

War is a racket.

 

Well, at least it hasn't split during that time. Of course, HAL is currently trading at $30.02. Looks like it did split in JUL 06 though.

 

So Iraq is roughly 2 billion a week. OK, I was watching Edwin Black on TV today giving a talk about his new book "Internal Combustion." He says we need a Manhatten Project-level effort to get to renewable energy sources, and says that it is doable, that the Manhatten Project in today's dollars would be 25 billion. So, 12 weeks of the war, and we are there?

What do you expect? Wash. D.C. was built on a (drained) swamp.
