AHAHA, proof we need more solar panels, windmills and electric cars??
And public transportation? And higher energy taxes?
GO GREEN?
Meanwhile a moon in this solar system with oceans of methane sits idle and no plan yet known on harvesting. Enough energy on that one moon for tens of thousands of years of pure energy to feed the engines of Earth. Kind of like God said ... Here it is Earth. Want true energy independence? Harvest ....
Fill it up.
Run it over...

A precipitating factor that preceded the Great Depression I was the series of retaliatory tariffs raised on international trade with the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act. When FDR came to office in 1933, the bill was not repealed, but only the rates were tinkered with, usually only in bilateral agreements with each country with whom the US had trade pacts. Keeping this tariff agreement in force probably lengthened and exacerbated the Great Depression, until it was pretty much made dead letter by World War II.
Is this how we are going to end this distance-and-direction urinating contest?
Well, if there’s one thing that will guarantee “drill baby, drill” bringing new supply online and a continuation of the fracking boom, it’s high oil prices.
Just leave the secondary natural gas bonanza alone.
I guess that threat by the Saudi’s to open the oil taps over Ukraine is having little effect.

LOTS of Geo-political maneuvering going on in the run-up to next week’s historic Russia-China Oil/Gas contract signing.
IMO, that is also why Putin hasn’t made any moves to secure the Southeast, yet.
