speaking of technology solutions, I believe Trump missed a huge opportunity regarding climate change.
To date the approach has been to push alternative renewable energy sources but that doesn't solve the problem. Its a long term solution to a problem that if we are to believe will be past the point of no return in short order.
Trump, IMO, should have pushed for a solution to altering the path of where we are heading by removing green houses gases from the atmosphere as well as other solutions.
The science community supports it because not only does it not conflict with their agenda, it funnels money into their domain for research and studies to find the solution
The fossil fuel community supports it because it continues down a path of America leading the world in natural resources
Americans in general support it because they don't have to alter their lifestyle or our infrastructure
and as long as they are working toward a solution, we aren't bombarded with the tree huggers who say we are ruining the planet.
In the long run, assuming a solution is met, then not only have we solved the problem, but we now own climate change.As far fetched as it sounds, we will have implemented the technology to control the worlds climate against either extreme, warming or cooling.
It would be the crowning achievement of a Trump legacy, his "put a man on the moon" moment, but much, much larger - its literally saving mankind (at least to the climate change community)
and if he doesn't, well, coal and oil live for another 20 years
