maybe not guilty, but deeply saddened.

The best day of my life will be when we develop cold fusion, or some other way of producing energy that gets us off oil. The middle east will revert back to the goat humping backwater nomadic past that the mentality in the region dictates.

If it wasn't for oil, they would have no money, no matter, and they could just be isolated in a box. Wait em out 20 years, til all their weapons rust, and then tell em to pound sand forever until they learn how to behave themselves.

That day can come sooner when we develop a way to get the envronmentalist religion out of our government and allow this country to drill for oil here. By all accounts their is plenty of it. The environmental and global elites idea that industry can only be allowed in third world countries is destroying world stability.

Ironic isn't it that the left who screams "no blood for oil" won't allow us to produce our own, thus freeing us from dependence on Middle Eastern oil?

The French get over half their electricity off nuclear power. No reason save public edjamakation and the greens that we couldn't.

Not going to happen though.

Why? We'd just elect another dim president in a few years that would give the technology away to another "developing" group of malcontents in the name of "diversity" or some other self hating nonsense. The cycle starts again.

I understand your sentiments, but what you envision is unlikely. Even were the USA or other industrilaized nations to deploy alternate energy sources such as CF, there will always be demand for oil from industries that require it as a raw material and from developing countries.

IMO it would be far better if the Arab countries would undergo a reformation to bring them in alignment with the rest of civilization.

Just a reminder that we have enough oil between Alaska and the Gulf of Mexico to support us at our current fossil fuel use rate for around 120 years. We don't need their oil as much as they need our food if we would just drill in the small areas we have found. The only problem is that we would have an over-abundance of caribou due to the birth rate jumping because the cows started dropping calves next to heated oil transfer pipes.

What do you mean, revert? This is the status quo.

It's coming, I am firsthand involved. Manufacturing will begin in Jan, in a most unlikely nation.

How about this?

Anything Into Oil

[BlessedAmerican]

We already have it .....it is called ANWR and nuclear....

Since you are in a sci-fi mood, why not put force fields around them, and forbid all contact with civilized nations for 500 years? Here's something simpler and more reasonable: forbid all air and sea traffic from or to those benighted lands.
