It's been tried before.Mad Men from some of the think tanks were able to use the tobacco industry playbook to cast doubt upon any of the perceived benefits.When it was all said and done,more was said than done,and it was left to the 'market' to decide where technology would go.
We appear to prefer a fuel tank half full of foreign oil,over jobs,education,healthcare,or national defense.Pity.
