[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1188143, member: 14668"] One of the greatest technological and engineering accomplishments the world has ever seen was the Manhattan Project that ultimately harnessed the atom and built the first atomic bomb in 1945. The sheer scale of the resources and brain power and large scale engineering that were committed to the success of the project was unprecedented in human history. In just a few short years we made quantum leaps forward in our knowledge and understanding of physics. The Manhattan Project is an example of what we as a nation are capable of accomplishing if we devote enough resources to the task. What we need at this point in time...is a [I]Manhattan Project for energy independence[/I]. The status quo...relying on oil that is controlled by nations on the other side of the world that are hostile to us....is unsustainable. Polluting the air with coal or polluting the oceans with oil spills and deep sea drilling disasters such as what happened in the Gulf of Mexico is also unsustainable. We need to treat energy independence as a war, that must be won at all costs. Our future, and the future of our grandchildren and their grandchildren...depends upon it. [/QUOTE]
