Science and Technology Directives National Economic Reforms

 President John F. Kennedy took up the challenge of laying out a national science and technology policy in the latter half of the twentieth century. The United States charted a route that catapulted the country into the space era. Man was no longer bound to this planet. We reached for the stars and accomplished the unthinkable. We put a man on the moon, built the International Space Station, launched the Hubble Telescope, which opened up the universe to all of humanity, and launched the Voyager spacecraft on a never-ending quest to "boldly go where no man has gone before."

This is all because a sitting President had the fortitude and foresight to build the framework for the United States to move on a definite plan of action that has opened up so many doors for millions of Americans. For the past five decades, the United States has somehow lost the zeal with which President Kennedy steered the country in a new path.

Sure, there have been numerous technological, scientific, and medical marvels along the road. For example, the Internet has opened up a whole new universe of possibilities that were previously unimaginable. Transplanting a heart is now almost a standard practice. Since the early 1960s, there have been many more wonders, but the leadership to develop and implement a national plan of direction that would set the United States on the path to a brighter future has not occurred since we placed a man on the moon. There is a direct plan of direction for the United States inside National Economic Reform.

 Article Six is, without a doubt, the most ambitious mandate ever enacted. However, this component is critical for America's and the rest of the world's future. National economic reform is critical for the future of not only the United States, but the entire world, particularly when the Science and Technology Directives are implemented.

On the five fronts presently stated in Article Six of National Economic Reform, the United States must identify and take immediate action. The impact of global warming on mankind and economy around the world is one of the most pressing challenges. One of the most contentious and unclear problems today is the first directive. We must accept the facts as they are presented.

First and foremost, humanity has relied on the first and second industrial revolutions' fuel for far too long. Today's technology has enabled the United States to eliminate all sorts of fossil fuels while also introducing alternative, lower-cost green energy to meet the country's energy needs. There is no other reason but greed for the large fossil fuel firms to keep the American population enslaved. Using affordable alternative energy, energy independence is now a possibility. 

The Third Industrial Revolution is underway, and the energy of the future will emerge under the direction of Science and Technology in National Economic Reform. We must remember that the fuel that ushered in a new way of life during the first Industrial Revolution was all based on fossil fuels. Drilling and mining became a feeding frenzy, resulting in an environmental disaster that is still unfolding today. Yet, for the most part, our government officials in the United States continue to deny that our industrial infrastructure, which was developed and continues to consume fossil fuel, is the source of all the environmental effects that global warming is having all over the world.

Today, civilization as a whole is at a crossroads. In the shortest length of time, we have developed more technology than at any other moment in history. The unfortunate reality is that many people around the world, not just in the United States, are missing out on the benefits that these technologies may provide. More and more individuals are being forced to live in deplorable conditions both here and abroad. Over a billion people are on the verge of starvation.

 Global pandemics are a very real hazard. Today, we have developed and continue to create better technology to eliminate hunger and the possibility of a Pandemic. The implementation of the National Economic Reform's Science and Technology Directive, on the other hand, is founded on the determination to employ the technologies that we have and develop more for the welfare of all mankind.
