This country developed the atom bomb and sent men to the moon when it
wanted to...if we elect politicians with real honesty and courage, we
can *easily* do it again and become energy independent of the
middle-east.

That is so bogus. "If we can send men to the moon, then why can't..." First
of all, we barely managed to send men to the moon. We haven't done it in
thirty years and can't do it now.

Secondly, sending men to the moon is one technology and is possible.
Perpetual motion is not possible, and a lot of energy-saving pipedreams
amount to a wish for perpetual motion.
