Nuclear power plants and hydrogen cars should be the way to go. The public has a lack of knowledge on how safe a "new" nuclear plant is and I would vote to put one in my town no problem. From what i understand we even utilize the waste now and no emissions.
As bag face said there is tons of money to be made here, it's always about the money.
Whether or not we will run out of oil is really irrelevant at this point. Look at who controls it and the price. Do we in the USA really want this. I have maybe God willing another 50 years on this planet, but my daughters another 90 or so and I want not only the planet here, but the red, white and blue also..flourishing.
Good post Bigg. I completely agree. If I have another 30 years I will have done well. But I have a 26 year old Son who is planning on child or two, and I too would like my Son and my grandchildren to enjoy the planet and the USA as I have.
Your fat legged fraulein candidate wants to tax hell out of oil company profits. She wants "her" government to take the money for research. Oh yeah I forgot, you don't favor private sector research in the socialist Utopia.
Other than that point, the remaider of your rambling is typical low content spewing driven by your hatred of reality and those that actually run the world.
What Tex, the Oil Companies aren't making enough profit? Do you expect the Oil Companies to invest in alternate energy? Do you expect Oil Companies to support better Eco cars? Do you expect the Oil Companies do do anything other than make as much profit as possible? Expecting Big Oil do anything other than the status quo, is similar to expecting GW Bush to be able to pronounce the word "Nuclear" It ain't gonna happen.
If you have it your way, nothing will change with regard to kicking our addiction to foreign oil, better fuel economy, less pollution, etc. etc. etc. BTW, my little Honda Civic SI, as you called it my Eco status symbol car, will smoke your big tank SUV across the railroad tracks, from 0-60, 1/4 mile and 60-0, and get me over 30 mpg on the highway, not to mention fill-ups, even at CA's $3.50 a gallon price for Premium, at under $40.00.
