29. How much did your first pc cost?

If it hadn't been for NASA and DOD, how much do you think it would have cost?

You are reading this post on the offspring of DARPA's net. Do you think Skinner and EarlG would be able to maintain this site if it had to bear the costs of the development of the internet?

It's happened before and it can happen with solar, without solar power proprietors "moving on."

I'll never understand why some people can understand and enjoy the benfits of industrial policy incentives when it comes to computers, the internet, and nuclear, but go all free market fundamentalist when it comes to the one technology we may need to develop to save the planet from climate catastrophe.
