Project Management?

I think this blog may be trying to tell me that the culmination of WW II was Project Management.  That explains a lot of my ambivalence regarding project management.

"In the World War 2 and the Post-World War 2 eras, the US accomplished impressive feats using the skills & techniques of Project Management The Manhattan project which developed the atomic bomb was one example of project management.  The Apollo Program which put a man on the moon was another example.  Virtually all large construction projects now are constructed using project management tools.  Project management forces good planning and strategy on a manager.

Why can't we make better use of project management techniques in developing reliable alternative energy sources.   What about using the techniques in fighting global warming."
