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.

Who's advocating hand-wringing?



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".

Puh-leeze.


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.

How do you imagine petroleum prices will stabilize? The demand keeps
skyrocketing while oil gets harder and harder to extract. How's that going
to work?


It will be an ugly time, I fear.

It already is. We better find some good alternatives and fast.
