Now I'm glad we didn't. With the U.S. sliding into developing world
territory, becoming a has-been country, much of our scientific
infrastructure will be wasted. Better to see large projects like this
located in countries that have a future.

The greenloons have already begun crying about it in Europe, that the money could be spent instead on plants to such C02 out of the air, that kind of thing. Speaking of sliding toward being part of the "Third World."
