Right. It costs enormous sums of money to keep military assets in proper condition, especially for countries with nukes. On infrastructure, I was referring more so to roads, rail, schools, etc. But power plants are a good example, too. However, if we're going to invest in power plants with government money, they ought to be power plants run on renewable energy, in my opinion.

We're currently having a big fight in my hometown, Tallahassee, FL, over a coal plant that's being built in the neighboring county. Tallahassee in a very Democratic city in a very Republican area of the country, and so, naturally, we're not wild about funding a new power plant based on coal.

Re: Spending (none / 0)

Just force them to agree to installing carbon-capturing technology as a condition to allow the plant to be biult.

guaranteed to evoke a violent reaction from police is to challenge their right to "define the situation." --- David Graeber citing Marc Cooper
