Hey, There's Gold In That Trash.

Wow, Thomas Friedman had a powerful editorial in the N.Y. Times this morning. He mentioned a young man who developed a way to get the plastic out of discarded computers and etc, and recycle it into reusable plastic. It was a great idea that was funded by American taxpayers. The problem is that because we don't have an energy bill from congress, he can't get the recycled raw materials in this country, but he can in Europe, Japan or China, so that's where he has to send jobs. Can we be proud of our government for this? It's all about climate change. In China and elsewhere, they've made climate change into a four letter word, Friedman says, JOBS. But here in America, some politicians have made it into a different four letter word, JOKE. So, while we sit on our hands and make fun of the science, They make jobs to meet the demands of the world and to employ their people. And to get a head start on us. So who's the smart ones? Think about the warmest year on record and how to turn that into jobs. It doesn't matter whether you believe in climate change science or not. A smart person can see the opportunities in joining. A dummy sees a funny story. Which do you want to be? Well then, the next time you hear a politician poke fun at climate change talk, tell him he's making fun of your next job.
