Seriously, if we had leaders that were truly independent, had the people in mind for the future rather than the elites, was a visionary, etc we would be producing alternative energy at 1/10th the current cost with as much as we would ever use. Instead millions will be dying maybe before this decade ends. Thanks to the OIL cartel & thanks to our political "Two-Party Cartel".

No political leader wants to be a visionary - it's much safer to stick with what can be easily explained to the lowest common denominator voters.

You left out the drug war aspect - we aren't serious about it at all. If we fought WWII like we fought the drug war, Germany would still rule most of Europe. We'd only engage them when they left the continent and landed in England.

I think a lot of drug money is flowing into groups that nobody will care about until it is too late.

By what means? The only alternates that have a prayer of doing this are nuclear and methane hydrates. Surely you don't seriously suggest something silly like windmills...
