Default GENI...comments?

Anyone have any comments about the 12 million dollars that the National Science Foundation granted for GENI? It's on Time.com. They're going to experiment with a new way to build a sustainable internet without interfering with the current one. Project should be well under way within 5 years and will cost (projected) 350 million dollars.

They're supposedly 'starting from scratch' because the current internet has too many security and other problems. Uh-huh...and the rest of us will have to eat humble crow to get a wedge in I'll bet.

I don't believe we should be spending some of the ridiculous funds we are for pie in the sky prototypes and development unless they're directed toward feeding some of the starving people in the world. When the people of the world are fed, clothed, and housed then...perhaps...but not now.

How about applying those resources to developing greenhouse gardens that produce l00, or even l,000, times the food per acre than can be done now? It's entirely possible.

Somebody's priorities are all skewed to hell and gone.
