  27.    Here are a few questions that went through my mind the other
  28.    day ( so I thought I'd post them).
  29.  
  30.    Why isn't Solar Power getting the attention that it deserves? 
  31.  
  32.      Is it because the Gov't. can't tax it?
  33.  
  34.      Is it because the Oil companies aren't done selling us
  35.      petro?
  36.  
  37.      Is it because people in Nuclear think they are doing a great
  38.      service to society?
  39.  
  40.      Do the students of Nuclear power think that studying Nuclear
  41.      is the only real challenge for their brain?
  42.  
  43.  
  44.    Why don't all you people working in Nuclear put your, obviously,
  45.    brilliant minds to work on Solar Power.
  46.    -- 
  47.  
  48.  
  49. How do you know solar power isn't getting the attention it deserves?
  50.  
  51. Do you know how much Government money and other money is spent on
  52. devloping it?
  53.  
  54. What do the initials SERI stand for, and where is it?
  55.  
  56. As to one of your questions, you are greatly underestimating all levels
  57. of government if you think they can't tax solar power.
