Default How much longer?

It's time we got off the oil tit. If you think it's expensive now,
wait till China, and then India, surpass the U. S. as petroleum
consumers.


As much as I agree, this is all sound and fury, signifying nothing. What's
the alternative? We're going to need oil for the foreseeable future, and
hand-wringing isn't going to change that.

I, for one, am not willing to see my kids grow up in a world that has been
reduced to economic squalor simply to benefit a "green agenda". At some
point, probably when food and transportation costs are unaffordable due to
unreasonable environmentalist restrictions on research, the electorate will
rise up and overthrow the politicians who have created this mess. Only
then will we see fuel prices stabilize.

It will be an ugly time, I fear.
