11. We might be able to do two at once on this one...
We create American jobs making renewable energy generators for the US, Solar panel plants, Wind plants, hydro generator plants, ALL US MADE, even if they need to be GOVERNMENT RUN AND OWNED TO KEEP IT PROFITABLE!

we'd be able to put factory workers back to work, engineers, builders, etc.

We increase our recycling, keep ALL materials IN COUNTRY, we start RECYCLING OUR OWN COMPUTERS!!!! as opposed to sending them to india!
The cases alone on the older units have TONS of SHEET STEEL that can be recycled for other uses like building Wind turbines!
We use motherboard components, break down the metals, and reduce the overall toxicity, we can shred motherboards and use them with tires to make roads (already being done with old tires).

We use the glass from CRTs to make other glass,silicon is V E R Y recyclable!

AND... we keep it ALL inside, the US, we KEEP OUR MATERIALS!

I was HORRIFIED to find out that all the steel from the twin towers was SOLD OUT OF COUNTRY for PENNIES on the dollar of what it was worth!!!

We start at home! We keep the jobs at HOME, and we improve OUR economy first!

It's what FDR did, and by god it worked!
