$ 8.7 billion dollar 'son of Tevatron' acceleator comes to Illinois
2013-08-20
[Townhall] This past Thursday, the Champ Regime quietly introduced a new endeavor intended to park money address the environmental effects of manmade objects that travel at supersonic speeds. White House Press Secretary Jay Carney revealed the program, adding that, "In the eight years preceding this Administration
That would be under the evil Bushitler administration as you may recall.
....no attention was given to residual supersonic atmospheric disturbances, especially on healthcare costs
[note Unaffordable Healthcare Act linkage].
This President will step up where others before him would not."
"Stepping up" with other people's money (OPM), how courageous of him.
Put simply, how do we repair the sound barrier?
Not sure, that's why we need billions of dollars, possibly trillions.
The massive program, funded at an estimated $8.7 billion, is comprised of both research and policy advancements. The science will be provided in a joint effort between two nati

There's a reason they didn't "step up".

#11  That's true {Wikipedia - yeah I know...] - the crack of a bullwhip is the tip of it breaking the sound barrier as it snaps.

#7  Clinton cancelled the supercollider cause it was going to be built in red state Texas. Now, with the LHC operating in Europe, we come full circle and build a vastly inferior device in a blue state for all the wrong reasons. Oof...

#6  I think after reading the last paragraph, the ultimate point is
1.Come up with a regulation goal
2.Decide which non-regulated regulation group will enforce it.
3.Make up a reason.

#5  And this isn't The Onion?

Regulatory measures will be implemented and enforced by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) out of Washington, D.C.

In short they are going to make up junk science, base some anti-business regulation on it and enforce it.

#4  "will be implemented and enforced by the Environmental Protection Agency"

Oh yeah, Lightning is faster than sound?
How you gonna enforce that?

Order Lightning to slow down? Sounds like Democrats.

#3  EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy stated in a written release Friday that, “We are proud to accept this responsible position as world citizens in owning up to the effects of our historical aggression with air speed.”

This is a reprint of the Onion right?

Mother nature often exceeds the sound barrier as recently witnessed and felt by the citizens of Chelyabinsk Russia.

I'd accept the admission by the administrator that the EPA is official anti-human.
