PBS 'Need To Know' Infrastructure & Fossil Fuels

This is what the so called reagan free market capitalism, con, was to do, private investments to advance a societies needs and entrepreneurs idea's instead of government investments into growth needs and the advancing technologies, the trickle down growth, and aren't doing as those capitalist hoard their huge gains while blocking any and all government growth.

Episode: 1/18/2013: Ending Paralysis

Need to Know explores why it takes nearly four times as long to complete infrastructure projects in the United States than it did in the 1970s. The Bayonne Bridge is a case study in gridlock. By comparison, correspondent Rick Karr reports on how German political parties of every stripe are now backing a plan that is expected to nearly end that country’s use of fossil fuels by 2050.

Keep in mind that if this Country, the U.S., had not been blocked from moving forward, by the special interests still doing so today, some forty years back, we would have not only had advanced the technologies now being produced and now will in the future but we might have moved into other forms of developing alternative clean, and not potentially dangerous, alternative sources. That should though happen rapidly as the innovations already in use have started doing right now and are bringing the costs of down.

A Short from the show: 18 January 2013 Episode: Building bridges

Jeff Greenfield explores why it now takes nearly four times as long to complete infrastructure projects in the United States than it did in the 1970s. The Bayonne Bridge needs to be raised to accommodate the new size of ships. Need to Know looks into why the project has become a debate over government paralysis and environmental quality.

It's not only because of regulations, it's more about this societies want to have and use but not want to pay, or have smaller groups within do so, think 'sin' taxes', for maintaining nor redeveloping to fit the growing needs and advancing changes!!
