Lastly, we should drill for oil in Alaska.

Firstly, we should start another Manhattan Project to develop a new energy source. Something that isn't petroleum based so we will have NO NEED whatsover of the mideast.

Instead of spending all that money attempting something that COULD fail, why not just occupy OPEC and TAKE what we need?

Actually, we don't have to just take it. We can occupy the countries, make then states 51-58, and give them some kind of "just" compensation for their natural resources.

We get the oil we need. Those people get the civilization they need. And lots of people feeling bored in the continental US would get lots of room to stretch out and expand...

But then where would the BushBoyz get their wealth from?

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

We've spent 10s of billions of dollars trying to develop new energy sources. Thus far, we were deceived by a lot of enviro-wackos and wasted a lot of cash. We need free enterprise to develop new feul, but I would be in favor of looking into any buried patent that had not been implemented for 10 years. We should offer a reward for any cost effective alternative. How about a billion dollar prize? Even if it's a buried patent? And run with it.
