"and there are plenty of folks out here who would reply that 'land can always be fertilized'..."

How does one use fertilizer to de-salinate land that has been exclusively irrigated with ground water? LOL, I think it's time for some of these city boys to spend a little time helping to raise the food they take for granted! Sometimes they sound like the spoiled 16 year old kid whose rich father bought him a new BMW for his birthday.

Ouch! You sound like a grouchy old man. I hope that wasn’t directed at me.

What do you suggest is the future of the U.S. energy system? I mean beyond drilling in ANWR if we are even allowed to do it within my life time. It seems to me that we have a limited supply of oil. With China and India quickly becoming fully industrialized, we should be cautious about the possibility of oil prices raising quickly (supply and demand), and having to compete for the stuff.

If the above commitment was directed at me, here is a little background. I grew up poor. My family owns a small alfalfa hay ranch in Fall River Mills, CA (no we don’t waste land for ethanol), and I learned every quick that working with my mind is better then my back. I’m 31 yrs and drive an old car because I can’t justify flushing money down the toilet just so my neighbor can be impressed.
