Nice job of ignoring we're now a nation of out-sourcing corporations benefitting from cheap labor and the lax rebgulations of third world countries.
Then you agree with Representative Jesse Jackson, Jr. who complained that the I-Pad is ruining jobs by eliminating the need to print and sell books, newspapers, etc... You would have also agreed with those who complained when electricity and the combustion engine made lamp oil providers and blacksmiths obsolete.
The argument to stop progress because some people make money off an outdated system is not a valid argument. Never has been, never will be.
To the OP - while I support and appreciate these students' efforts to evolve us, rallies come through DC all the time for countless causes. Hardly anybody takes notice of most of them unless they are massive like Jon Stewart's Rally to Restore Sanity.
This is true. As a DC resident, I hardly ever can discern what any given protester is actually protesting. Other times its about things i've never even heard about.
Why do people automatically think that these college kids are going through school on their parent's dime, when most college kids get through school off of a combination of FASFA, student loans, and scholarships?
Anyways, good for them. Any research put into alternative fuels to kill our dependance on fossil fuels is a good thing.
Another bunch of loony leftists with no real world experience who just finished watching "An Inconvenient Truth".
..for about the hundredth time. These would be the first generation of kids having AGW jammed down their throats everywhere they turn. Seems the propaganda is working quite well.
And this, people, is why this generation of youth will kill coal, cripple big oil, and powershift this nation in the modern world.
Go for it, nothing preventing you from attempting this by paying for it out of your own pocket. The issue is you want everyone to pay for it. The only "powershift" you'll get from the destruction of the fossil fuel industry is an acceleration of the power shifting from the US to to China.

Irrelevant argument in this topic, these things were all market driven. I don't recall anyone clamoring for more expensive electric.
