The Power of Choice

The future of the United States is completely dependant upon technology. That technology; however, must be used to help and empower people. Otherwise, the unfair distribution of wealth will destroy everyone, if a natural catastrophe doesn't do the job first.

Simple purchases, such as a hybrid car, can empower corporations by rewarding those corporations that innovate not just for shareholders, but for consumers, for society, and for environment. Those who innovate only to increase shareholder profit, at the expense of consumers, society, and the environment must be punished by not purchasing their products.

As far as technology, few industries have spawned such innovation as space and the U.S. must lead the way into this frontier. Only private space travel and commercialization provide the kind of innovation and inspiration this Nation and, particularly, our students need.
