Should the federal government contact farmers across the country and ask them if they would be intrested in a biomass power generation device using plant and other waste material from there farm paid for entirely with grant money which would generate green energy and extra income for them? Would this be a good use of tax dollars? Democrats would sign onto it because it would help the enviroment by generating green global warming free energy? Republicans would sign onto it because it helps farmers and the economy. It would help create energy independence helping disentangle us from the middle east as well. Open bid contracts would have to be used to make sure it was done as cheaply as possible but I have an example of one such device here. http://ge.ecomagination.com/@v=020220071742@/site/index.html#jenb/introduction
Is this something congress could do that EVERYONE would be proud of and help them start working together to truly solve the problems we face as a nation and a world?

Well this is an alternative to both parties trashing eachother isn't it? and I also firmly believe that some exspendatures are worth the money. I think this is a much wiser way to spend them then giving subsidies to oil companies while they make record profits. There's thousends of worse things that get tax money spent on them daily.

We already do it for ages in Europe
Farmers achieve 30 000 € / year of revenue (including the heating they spare) which they would otherwise not earn through their traditional non profitable activities.

Sounds like a good idea. It needs a good business plan that wouldn't rely on taxpayer dollars too much to make it work

it might want to be exciting to work out that Muslims at the prompt are not allowed to apply such power. that's some thing like sufferers no longer allowed to be attended by ability of non-Muslim, beef eating medical doctors, no longer allowed to commute in autos pushed by ability of non-Muslim, beef eating drivers and the list is going on and on.

Both parties are too worried about trashing each other to win the 2008 elections to do anything useful.
