The most important news and commentary to read right now. - The Slatest - Slate Magazine President Truman said we needed to go solar. Humans never listen to their prophets! He could foresee the problems ahead. Maybe some didn't like him for other reasons; but he had this right! Now we are paying the price for oil that has led us to wars and monies spent that should have gone for curing disease and all the other 'ills' of our society. China said in the '80's they were going to go 'solar.' What happened? why are they now polluting the air, too with carbons and causing worse health problems. Starting 'late' they could have gone solar and been the leading power in the world in a 'good' way. How did they get ensnared into the same trap as the rest of the world.
