Re: The Jurgen Klinsman Experience

No Pulisic? Seriously? I wouldn't be surprised if Dortmund asked to hang onto Pulisic for a little longer. I think they play Bayern Munich for the German Cup or something like that in the next couple of weeks. That's correct -- on Saturday. I wouldn't be surprised if he gets added to camp at some p...

Re: Science!

That was essentially a drop in the bucket. I get they had to spread it around a little, but looks like about 5 percent (roughly) of the entire stimulus. I'd be curious to learn 7 years later what that $11B investment in "smart grid" technology has achieved.

Re: Science!

I'm not sure why making the billions in investments necessary to upgrade the power grid wasn't part of the stimulus in 2008. That's the root of the whole problem. Once upgraded, then solar and wind power DO become much more viable as long-term solutions.

And if the U.S. takes the lead in wind, solar, geothermal, etc. then we will reap the windfall (jobs, economic boost via the stock market, etc.). If we let China, Korea, Japan or Germany et al do so then we will not benefit as much economically.
