]]>I’m so glad to see an article which specifically focused on this little known facility. Unfortunately, many members of Congress see this research as wasteful. As this country’s leaders continue to subscribe to the business practice of “immediate returns, NOW”, the USA will continue to fall behind as time moves on. The “only” reasons the USA hasn’t declined more rapidly is due to the shear number of research facilities, and the amount of money we have as a nation.
Great article ScriptPhD.
]]>I grew up in Livermore and had generations of family that worked at the lab. Its amazing its been around for so long and the breakthroughs that they’ve had there. We used to drive out to the windmill fields as teens. There is a hill by the lab that if you put your car in neutral it will pull you up the hill. Not an urban legend.
