If the truth is ever told of the super-insulations in use in the space race and defense industries, Americans can be set free of the "Energy Crisis" for all time! A great deal of money is spent on propagandists to maintain the viability of the status quo - to protect investments already made, and to keep Uber-Rich folk in good stead! Patent Law is America's greatest deterrent to energy self sufficiency! Guess what! China does not recognize U.S. notions of "Patent Law" nor does India! To make Solar, Wind, Wave, Hydro, Tidal and geo-thermal prospects even more sufficient, we need super insulation technologies, freed up by government force if necessary, and now! while we still have an economy to work in! Somehow, in these grand United States, super-insulation technologies have been high-jacked for Military, defense, and industrial or space travel only, forgetting or bypassing the people, the proletariat, us! and our plight! Sadly we try to solar heat in the South where sun abounds, and the humble Canadian using Straw Bale technologies as old as time itself, sits warm and comfortable in his home heated in the Canadian winter by only a big window, a tomb wall and some scraps of softwood! What the Hell happened here! Either we are superior and can prove it or we are liars, believing our own lies and destined to freeze in the dark for our sins! Did we really go to the moon? Why can't we use that type of insulation in our homes?
