[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] 1. There are around a dozen oil spills per year, although most of them are smaller or farther offshore than Valdez. You don't hear about them, because... well, G.E. owns NBC, and so on. And because not all of them take place in the U.S. 2. The idea behind our getting solar power stations is to have it FIRST. Then, while providing ourselves with cheaper energy (remember, it will still take a while to offset the initial gigantic investment, so a power compant could still charge for the station's creation, upkep, security, etc), we can SELL our surplus to other countries, simultaneously making a buck AND undercutting the power of the OPEC nations. Plus, if an electric company could get a solar station... all the ecology-conscious people would switch over, so another company would want one, and so on, and staying ahead of the game would require diversification, further use... asteroid mining... off-Earth prospecting... the trend could well be irreversible.
