Maybe Tom Friedman does Understand Capitalism, after all

In today's New York Times column he talks about some who are innovating and moving forward even with the recession.

Dreaming the Possible Dream

The thing I love most about America is that there’s always somebody who doesn’t get the word — somebody who doesn’t understand that in a Great Recession you’re supposed to hunker down, downsize and just hold on for dear life. I have a couple of friends who fit that bill, who think a recession is a dandy time to try to discover better and cheaper ways to do things. They both happen to be Indian-Americans — one a son of the Himalayas, who came to America on a scholarship and went to work for NASA to try to find a way to Mars; the other a son of New Delhi, who came here and found the Sun, Sun Microsystems. Both are serial innovators. Both are now shepherding clean-tech start-ups that have the potential to be disruptive game changers. They don’t know from hunkering down. They just didn’t get the word.

Read it all, it will make you feel better. He doesn't seem to understand we don't need to change the atmosphere, but as long as that is what they are trying to do, they are using the by-products of combustion in a very innovative, capitalistic way. Now I wish he would understand the very fraudulent way global warming has been pushed on us.

Let the Free Market take care of this

The human capacity for innovation is limitless

by David Hass

Canadian farmer Gary Lewis spent 7 years developing a technology that may change the world.

Mr. Lewis' process cools the exhaust from farm tractors and injects it into the soil. This process eliminates the need for fertilizer.
This is a very exciting technology that will not only make the man-made global warming bozos happy, but saves farmers hundreds of thousands of dollars in fertilizer costs annually and yields superior crops.
The Pincher Creek, Alberta native has started a company, BioAgtive,  to manufacture and distribute his technology.
Absolutely brilliant.
