On Why the Government Didn't See the Shale-Fracking, Horizontal Drilling, And Social Networking Phenomena Coming
a) Because they're stupid, b) because their brass-balls sure aren't crystal, and c) because they already had way too much on their plate with ethanol, wind turbines, free golf-carts for millionaires, Amtrack (and other high-speed rail bottomless pits), Wall Street bailouts, Obamacare, cash for clunkers, solar panels, kissing Jeffrey Immelt's asshole, etc., etc..

They didn't see it for the same reason that Krushchev's shoe-banging prophecy didn't come to pass: the arrogance of mighty government central planning comes with a big load of hubris... and people who really have no idea what they are doing, but because they have the power and the guns, they think they are.
I like the idea of high speed rail. Swiss relatives coming to visit thought they could travel to anywhere in the US by convenient rail travel. Hint:
you're not in Zurich anymore!
All of the above. Not sure who saw those things coming, I didn't, especially social networking, a convenient wasteland, IMO. Wasteland-wise,
the fracking phenomenon could produce some, especially when they will need to go lower down, costs rise and methods grow more robust. Not a guv prediction, just pondering out loud.
