The Hydrogen Super Highway

America needs to support entrenprenuers and start-up visionaries who are attempting to build break-through businesses. Please visit the Interstate Traveler Company for a Michigan-based example of this.

Unfortunately, it is very difficult for someone with a brand new idea to get funded. This is because most investors are too conservative and too wedded to old world thinking. The government needs to gamble on new technologies. Even when these companies fail, the government can collect the intellectual capital, hire some of the best engineers, and keep the ball rolling. This could be a government version of the old Bell Labs.

This is not the way our government invests. In the words of George Carlin, "Today, America is really good at blowing shit up!" We need to get better at innovating and leading the world or we will get left behind.

Will America Lead?
