We should be working toward the same end. Instead the OPEC shills in DC keep changing the subject. I want to hear how we're going to reduce our imported fuels and they change the subject to windmills or whatever, which do not reduce our imported fuels by a single drop. I want to talk about opening up the coast for drilling and they want to talk about greenhouse gases. I want to talk about our saudi-sized oil shale deposits and they want to talk about carbon.
Its a sleight of hand. Most of our politicians are in OPEC's pockets, pretending to be enviro-heros.
Glenn nailed it last week. It is not revolution in the street that needs to happen. The revolution will be the disintegration of the dysfunctional systems. The big three that will collapse as they try to prop up a broken system are the complicit media, The K Street Special Interest and Corporations cutting side deals.
It all revolves around the tax code and the corruption it entails.
We can't get to a Natural Gas Economy, Coal to Oil for our Military and Airliners, and Nuclear Power, convention or Thorium Reactors when the Sierra Club and all their minions are feeding the Piggy's at the trough via their campaign money.
Steve Forbes was right the Flat Tax will be needed 1st and a compelete change the Dod Gamn bunch of the Bastardos in the House and Senate so that we can make common sense decisions to build energy plants etc and to drill this country like it was a rented mule.
