The only way to convince America to switch to renewables will be making a corporation with the stated goal of replacing the entire grid system with lightning kites that collect power from thunderstorms and calling it FreedomPower. Put a cartoon Ben Franklin in all the ads and it will work.

What’s your definition of smarter? I’ve never seen a cockroach play chess, generate art, or calculate the likelihood of financial fraud on transactions.
