Drug dealers are in a crash program to develop submarines. One problem. Even prototypes do not submerge. They remain low on the surface. Drug dealer also suffer from bad management.

Ten years ago, extremists intentionally lied to create a war that had no purpose (except to uselessly massacre 5000 American servicemen). Those same liars said it would cost about $2 billion and be paid for by Iraqi oil.

The current expense of that war now stands at $1700 billion. Due to some many disabled victims and interest on money (borrowed from China, et al), the bill could rise to as much as $6000 billion. Mission Accomplished.

At the same time, wackos were also pushing hydrogen as a fuel when basic science said it would not work. Numbers are now available for GM's research. GM spent about $1 billion trying to develop hydrogen as a fuel cars. Since 'bean counters' were so dumb as to cite it a solution to pollution.

Around the same time, other fools were pushing ethanol as a fuel.

You would think these business school trained managers would have learned from the fiasco called EV-1. When cost controllers replaced a nickel metal hydride battery with a 1900 technology lead acid battery. Even the lithium battery was developed in the 1960s. Was standard in satellites ten years earlier. So HBO could broadcast for 24 hours - all night long. But fools know reality must be wrong. Spread sheets proved it.

If technology was that well understood that long ago, then why did GM instead waste $1 billion on hydrogen as a fuel? For the same reason a $2 billion war has now cost $1700 billion. We are still paying for people so dumb as to know having a driver's license is unnecessary to be an auto executive.

Ten years ago, and we are still paying for idiots who enriched themselves by subverting the American standards of living. By stifling innovation.
