In addition, begging the Camel humping Saudis for their oil is why we can't just attack them for being the REAL terror center of the planet.

In the long run, COAL is the best answer, along with increased Nuclear Power. The good ole USA has HUGE reserves of coal yet to be touched.

Used to be that burning coal to produce electricity resulted in mondo pollution and acid rain. This is no longer true as technology now enables effective "scrubbing".

Coal and Nuke power to produce electricity with gradual switchover to electric vehicles.

Fuel cells also offer some real advantages.

Any way you look at, we have to get detoxed from cheap Middle Eastern oil if we ever expect to end the funding of and subservience to Muslim Terrorism.

      Actually, scrubbers are the cause of acid rain, not its cure.
