Jordan’s King Abdullah is a big Star Trek fan (and actually played an extra on the show). He likes the series so much that he’s backing the construction of a $1.5 billion Star-Trek themed park in his country.

The themed entertainment destination will also serve as a model for “green energy,” incorporating state-of-the-art renewable technologies throughout the facility, and hosting a “future” pavilion where businesses, students and attendees can learn about alternative energy sources ranging from solar and wind energy to greywater harvesting.

While other countries push ahead.. and see the job aspect of it.. along with the saving grace of Renewable. It would behoove the U.S. to start treating this with a high priority .. because while other countries strive for transportation and other aspects of renewable energy, as well as engaging in alternative fuels that will power their military and policing efforts.. the U.S. would be left in the lurch if we do not try to change our military use of oil to renewable also...and in doing so create jobs here.. so we are not spending money by paying some other country to bring us up to speed .. in the manufactured equipment that is made over seas.
