I think they've been working on it ever since the caveman invented fire, but there are still plenty of innovations yet to be discovered in the energy field. And the fact that if we don't come up with something pretty quick we are doomed should be a real incentive.Quote from Cote Rotie:
there is no real correlation between higher taxes and lower growth. throughout our history there are examples of high taxes and strong growth and then other examples of low taxes and low growth.
we need to innovate. and not financial products that blow up ala the last ~7 years. Real innovation that produces a positive legacy (such as the tech boom).
Quote from piezoe:
It is counterproductive to dwell on taxes. Why not dwell on spending and priorities instead? Those of you fixated on low taxes, are promoting debt and inflation and damaging the country.
