.Either the Government supports ALL forms of energy, or none.  It doesn't try to pick winners or losers. 

==================================
That is dumb. There is no reason to support ethanol from corn, which uses more fuel than it replaces.

The proper thing to do is support those which are productive and save money and favorable to the balance of payments.

No ITS CALLED FAIR ( realize that word has been so mutated by the left, that it has no meaning for folks yourself.  IT'S ALSO CALLED WORKING WITHIN THE PARAMETERS OF THE CONSTITUTION

IIRC, and I think it was an Ami article that helped highlight it, the amount of "energy" used to make these "green batteries" is staggering.  FAR more burned fuels and pollution in what those batteries would supposedly save.  Yet, there we are pouring billions of tax dollars into all forms of a pre-selected energy sector, and LOSING billions in the process

Then obviously we need to cease ALL payments, loans, and subsidies to any and ALL Solyndra-like enterprises

Arpanet funding was completely derived from the taxpayers

So was the Manhattan Project.

Both constitutional.

So which is it?  Were they taxpayer funded along with matching "other funds", or were they not?

The former was a result of the latter. And definitely had a military application.

Sorry, not buying it, nor whould the tax payers.  Let some uberrich folks look into it, then, if there are potentlal military applications, following some success, THEN there can be a discussion, as to what level of application

Which, to make painfully sure isn't going to be an attempt, is not remotely the same as the Military going out to get the best bid on their next super fighter or stealth radar detector or Frigate or something that could potentially bring a war to its end, which is a specific military objective, and not merely a potential application

Fatcats always say crap like this. It is the treatment that they give beggars. "Sorry, no money."

It was absolutely essential that Iraq had to be invaded. No one listened to those who said we can't afford it.

It is absolutely essential that the Air Force have new fighter planes, even though they are pretty much going to be obsolete when they finally are produced and the bugs are eliminated. We somehow need bases all over the globe. No one says "We can't afford that."

Mitt Romney wants to piss away even more on the military, when we spend more than all the rest of the planet combined.

When the time comes to pay for all this crap, the fatcats say, no, not ME. I am a job creator. Tax my peons, not me!

Completely funded by taxpayers means that no matching funds were involved.

I don't think you know what the Arpanet project was.

Great debate response.  Pretty hard to claim I supposedly don't know what the project is, if you can't reference it      ::)

It is not my job to educate you. But it is fun to see you opine on subjects you apparently have no knowledge of.
