Will new energy technology be defeated by old power?

Inventors: Solar Dish Could Revolutionize Energy Production

Just read this article on a new solar collector technology that is simple, inexpensive and efficient. American ingenuity is at work trying to find new, better ways of dealing with our energy needs.

Come on Washington, get out of the way and let the American people do what they do best, meet problems with innovative answers. We have some 300 million people in this nation and if turned loose, they can accomplish far more than 535 representatives in Washington who are so stricken with themselves they think only they have the answers.

Our leaders seemed to have forgotton that power corrupts, and truly, "Absolute power corrupts absolutely." Rarely attributed, the latter phrase is a quotation from Lord Acton, in a letter to Bishop Mandell Creighton, 1887.

That quote succinctly describes the political leadership in America 120 years later. And we the people will pay dearly for their corruption if we fail to take serious interest in and responsibility for our nation and return America to a Republic formed "for the people and by the people."

"We are all in the same boat on a stormy sea and
we owe each other a terrible loyalty." - G. K. Chesterson
