Really keeping America great

Everyone likes bullet points so here are a few updated quick hit ideas I have discussed before made a bit easier to read. I am not saying this is an end all be all, just some ideas put forth to help us lead the world into the 21^st century and beyond.

Energy: We need to change from fossil fuels to renewable sources, however, it will take two generations to make the change over where most our energy comes from renewables. So, we let the current fossil fuel projects run their course so people keep their jobs and simultaneously begin the full-scale process of solar and wind energy. Basically, make all new projects renewable projects. We need to make the commitment.

Water: Instead of building a wall between us and Mexico, why don’t we build projects with Mexico. Since the west coast is earthquake prone and the gulf is hurricane prone we would need to really look at how we do this, however, building desalinization plants along either or both coast lines helps both countries build reliable water sources for the future.

Agriculture: So, if we build reliable water for the future we can use this water to help nonproductive land become productive. Part of this idea is building commercial greenhouses in the desert. Solar and wind power can help climate control and a constant source of water helps grow organic fruit and vegetables year-round. Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas etc… can still grow grains yet without the current processing that hurts our health.

Space: I would say enough said, yet we need a plan to start exploring and building in our solar system. This may be a multi century project

Jobs: Making the transitions above creates jobs at many different levels from common labor and construction work to high level engineering, science, education, and of course everything else that is developed to feed, cloth, house, entertain, etc.. people working.

Healthcare: We need to bring it back to being a profession instead of a business. And if we can grow healthy food year-round organically it is just a side benefit to us as a country. One way to lower health care costs is to eat well. This way doctors can focus on real illnesses and diseases than the ones we create eating processed food and excessive amounts of prescribed medicines that create more problems than the one they are supposed to address. Shoot half the time, they only address symptoms of an unhealthy lifestyle. And reducing water and air pollution is going to do wonders for our health.

And the greatness of above is that we can make the transition without making monumental changes to our personal lives. And Mr. Trump here are your jobs for Americans

So, Wall Street, Congress, and everyone else what is so difficult about moving forward into the 21^st century?
