Nobody has a solution for the oil problem. Drilling more is a band-aid. It should still be done, but it won’t make a huge difference.
At least nuclear power would reduce the use of coal. That is an attainable goal and with better technology than the 1970’s and 1980’s, nuclear power is the obvious choice.
“Nobody has a solution for the oil problem. Drilling more is a band-aid. It should still be done, but it won’t make a huge difference.”
Oh, we have solutions to the fuel problem if our country actually has the balls to use the technology we uncover. We could actually lead the world in pioneering this technology and sell the technology to others if we had leadership willing to do something about it and with the vision to make things happen.
But it would require a heavy investment in nuclear technolgy.
And it would probably require the band-aid of more drilling until we got things up and going.
And that’s just it: our politicians REFUSE to develop a long-term, viable energy program.
