Security is big business

Why does the War on Terror go on?  Since 9/11, reports The Observer in London, "a highly lucrative industry" has arisen in the United States of America - protecting the homeland from terrorists. It has been five years since a a small group of fanatics brought down the World Trade towers. Since then, hundreds of billions have been spent to protect the US homeland - but some people wonder, from what? Since 2001, terrorists have caused fewer deaths in America than allergic reactions to peanut butter. Some commentators are sarastically awaiting for a War on Peanuts. Seven years ago, there were nine firms with federal homeland security contracts. Now there are 33,890. Since 2000, $130 billion of government contracts have been give out. Since the dawn of the 21st century, almost half of all new jobs in US have come, directly or indirectly, from two booming industries - housing and homeland protection.

Google

medium_portakotkot.jpgIn Dallas Google is working on a secret weapon in its quest to dominate the next generation of Internet computing. But it is hard to keep a secret when it is a computing center as big as two football fields, with twin cooling plants protruding four stories into the sky.

Microsoft and Yahoo have announced that they are building big data centers as well. Google remains far ahead in the global data-center race, and the scale of its complex here is evidence of its extraordinary ambition.

The design and even the nature of the Google center in this industrial and agricultural outpost 80 miles east of Portland has been a closely guarded corporate secret.

The complex will tap into the region's large surplus of fiber optic networking, a legacy of the dot-com boom. Local residents are at once enthusiastic and puzzled about their affluent but secretive new neighbor, a successor to the aluminum manufacturers that once came seeking the cheap power that flows from the dams holding back the powerful Columbia.

Maybe we could do something with the old pulp and paper plants that will emerge in the years to come.
