I may be naive here but all these sound like every other 'throw money at it' social cause to save the world dribble we have heard since the 60's.
Evil theory - The questions is did google get 10,000's of brilliant ideas and take mine for free? Plausible...
Clueless theory - I spent days preparing and submitted a plan that would save our country billion$ of resource$, job$ and nearly eliminate dependence on foreign oil and google ignored it? Plausible...
Google - Save our jobs, energy dependence, water, air, toxic chemicals and health... I offered google every opportunity to change and influence these in the U.S. and the entire world and they gave me the boot with a list of predictable, overdone fluff.
PLEASE COMMENT ON THIS ONE READERS !
I think google needs some transparency in the legitimacy of this program
NOTE: If someone from google would like to contact me regarding this I am ALWAYS glad to help and do not mean to criticize, but come guys are you kidding me? I have spent 100's of volunteer hours helping develop google programs over the years I believed to be open and a substantial benefit to the public. For what?
