It&#8217;s high time for experiments of another nature to occur in places like these, possibly with even farther-ranging consequences, only this time with the goal of manufacturing an explosion of hope and potential for comfortable growth.<\/p>\n<p>What I have right now is an idea. What I would like to do now is collect input and expert opinion. Later it will be time to construct a phased proposal and look for funding. But now is the time to be looking into things like this, while we still have a little slack in the resources that we can commit. When we&#8217;re fighting over the last drop of oil and scrap of arable land, it will be far too late.<\/p>\n<p>[*]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here.
