    It is about time someone took advantage of this resource. It is abundant and relatively clean. I am sure some environmental wacko group will try to interfere because disturbing the ocean bed may scare some sea slugs...

    Don't forget education. Though, over a dozen other countries outclass ours as well. Perhaps something should be done about K-12, the biggest monopoly in the country.

    That's Great for japan ,but now instead of the innovation coming from the USA. We have fallen behind japan in the research for "new energy". I wonder where else we have fallen behind in?
