MIT's Burgeoning Role in the Green Movement

Some sage advice from the President of MIT. She says we need another "Apollo project" to light a fire under this country's collective arse to help us to quickly discover the new technologies needed to be energy independent. I've only read about the "race to the moon", which seemed to really excite the imagination of children and even adults back in the 1960s. I wonder if we could do the same thing with respect to energy. I do believe that it will take a visionary leader to excite the public once again. Here's to hoping that this year's presidential election provides us with that leader.
