With the cost of the war so far, we could power a third of the US with wind turbines.

From the esteemed Sietch Blog: The NY Times and others place the cost of the war at well over a trillion dollars, enough to power at least a third of the US with wind turbines. The clean energy sure could have been nice. Not to mention a step up for health care, education, NSF funding... "Perhaps in the future we can ship wind turbines and solar panels to the Persian Gulf instead of our sons and daughters..." ^_^
