You completely put away with any alternatives. Alternatives are impractical until there's a complete, comprehensive distribution infrastructure in place. That'll take 20 years. There's also a significant chicken-and-egg problem. OK. So when will you start switching? In 19 years, 11 months and 30 days? #m |

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". That's a tenable argument, but, the antebellum south said the same thing about slavery. If we don't have slaves, how we gonna pick cotton? If we don't have cotton, how we gonna afford the plantation? Even before Eastwood cheapened the expression with that stupid-ass movie, the Marines had a simple philosophy: Adapt and overcome. Right now we are dependent upon terrorist oil and if we tap the Alaska oil, it'll be eight years before it gets to market. Eight years ago, we could have tapped Alaska, OR we could have spent the trillion dollars we're blowing giving a damn what people do in Allah-land researching and developing alternative energy with the tenacity that we developed the atomic bomb and the moon lander. Sadly, we did neither. We blew our money on stocks and let our energy and telecom conglomerate executives annihilate our economy. What troubles me more about RIGHT NOW is that western oil dependency is more critical than ever; our economy is suffering and it's not just America, but everywhere. The Osama types live in caves and mud huts. They don't need oil, but, more importantly, they get it cheap. RIGHT NOW would be their prime opportunity to attack an oil field or a refinery or whatever it takes to give the oil barons further excuse to jack up oil costs (/profits) and for maximum economic impact. Right now, more than ever, we should be stomping the **** out of the actual ANTI-WESTERN TERRORISTS and investing hell-for-leather in releasing what Bush rightfully called our dependence on foreign oil. The problem is, we all squandered too much time and money in the last decade to solve our problems, and so here we are. (I get sick of Republicrats and liberal/conservative propagandists pointing the finger at each other. We're all responsible. We have to do what we have to do, green agenda or not. What we have to do is get away from oil or we're better off going back to horses, coal and steam.) No sacrifice that I will make in my lifetime will equal the sacrifice my brother's comrade made in the Anbar province when an IED blew half his face off. The IED wasn't put there by Al Queda, just a local warlord/mayor who didn't want his porn/drugs/movie/guns smuggling racket broken up. The dark side of me says, let Afghanistan grow poppy like there's no tomorrow, and get Iran, Iraq, China and North Korea strung out on heroin like they've got us strung out on oil and cheap lead-laden imports. (and then kill anybody who tries to smuggle it into the western hemisphere) Meanwhile, our idealogical enemies would love to sell us a new Cessna Skycatcher or a fake Rolex. I hear they're cheap. -c |
