When the Media Fails

Investing a new energies is going to be the next internet boom and bust.....Do not read my lips read the Washington Post article headline and content.
As the article touts the new miracles in new energies. The middle of the report inserts a quote: "there is a deficit of $25 mil in investment and 36 scientist will be fire" go figure, it is all hyping all over again.
I will no ponder the reasoning of the process or the qualifications of the reporters, I take just the fact about the hypocritical approach titling the article and the reporting.
The new federal budget was approved with record expenditures, but 90% of all scientific research in the US got sliced or freezed, except war research, nuclear and NASA -project to go to Mars.
It is not new news that research and education for research is underfunded in America. The proof is on patents assigned. Worse, going forward is the decline in doctoral/reserach program applicants.
Today, 60% of all PHd's working the US are born in a foreign country.
The present state of nationalistic arrogance and blindness, is not the best position to claim a bright future.
If the Ayatollahs stiffle education, Christian zelots are doing the same, time to get a new enlightement.
