The Politics of Oil: The Discourse Must Change
The below link is a good overview of how our elected representatives mislead American citizens.
The Politics of Oil: The Discourse Must Change
We have an energy crisis. The last time we had such a crisis, America rose to the challenge.
What about this time?
America is a hostage to middle eastern politics. Our troops are buying us some time to re-engineer our infrastructure. Are we rising to this challenge?
Are we supporting our troops and their sacrifices by actually changing our behavior?
Are we making the investments in coal to oil conversion plants to wean us off of middle eastern oil?
Are we ‘hardening’ our economy against outside energy manipulation? Al-Qaeda has already tried to stop Saudi Oil deliveries. They will keep trying. They may succeed. Are we ready?
Are we ready when the next Katrina roars through the Gulf of Mexico sometime in the next ten years?
Are we fully examining all of the alternative energy technologies available? Or just those, like hydrogen, that are a Detroit-lead masquerade pretending to actually developing new transportation fuels? That delay the U.S. from slipping the economic noose that is middle eastern oil.
Unfortunately, I think the answer to all of the above questions is no.
