They make mini nukes now, similar to the power plants on submarines that could power a mid-sized town, or stacked together, a large city or sparsely populated state. We then switch to electric cars, trains, buses and etc...

let us all ask President Bush to just sign an executive order to open the land that Bill Clinton lock up with and executive order so he could get lots of money from Riady for his reelection in ‘96

My dad managed a plant materials center in Meeker CO in the mid 70’s. It was basically a seed farm. They grew native plants for their seed, to be used in replanting areas that had been strip-mined for coal and oil shale.

Just damn.

Eastonia (who the hell is that?) can extract shale oil, but the US can’t.

Keep in mind that it is not just oil that we are buying from unfriendly nations.

If other nations are self sufficient for oil, why is it that we can’t be? It is obvious that “engaging” these other countries to get resources is causing a disaster.

It has been proved that globalism is not producing the desired results in many areas of our economy. Instead of buying peace, we are setting ourselves up for future and continuing conflicts.

We have to become self sufficient again, or we will be plunged in to another worldwide conflict. Obama wants surrender now, and McCain is too timid to do the right thing.

Shale oil production in Colorado is prohibited by congress. Next.

Fine - and let me hire a tanker to bring in Brazil fuel for our cars without the import duty.

Why dont we charge import duties on the terrorist fuel from Russian and Iran and Venezuela?

[sergeantdave]

I’d guess that 90% of Americans know nothing about this. And I’ll bet my next week’s ration of custard-filled doughnuts that McCain will never mention it.

Official Washington decided a long time ago that extracting oil from shale is too expensive.

Considering they don't know the difference between a profit amount and a profit percentage, "Official Washington" needs to get the He11 out of the energy business.

The 535 persons that are Congress have proved time after time that they know nothing about free enterprise and innovation.

Always be suspicious of writers who think Utah, Wyoming and Colorado are part of the Midwest.
