Speaking at The Economist's Buttonwood Gathering, Tom Kaplan says that if a Martian were to visit the US in 1973, and then jump ahead to today, that Martian would be appalled by our policymakers' inability to prepare for long term problems.

Kaplan argues that the US needs to be less reactive in its economic and energy policies, and plan ahead much, much better.
