powerful nation on the face of the earth". The Saudi oil minister can snap his fingers and tell the world they will increase oil production by 10% in 18 months...while we produce 3 million bbls less than we did 30 years ago. WTH?
How did this happen? Recently "big oil" wanted to expand a refinery in the midwest and was told by the EPA and environmentalists NO. We haven't built 2 new refineries since Carter's "crisis of confidence" speech 30 years ago.
Natural gas is domestically produced and is a superior a motor fuel and yet you can only convert about 18 or so models to NG because the EPA won't approve. We have systems made in the USA for export only 'cause they won't pay EPA cert and annual recert.
India and China have systems available for all their cars. Most of the motor vehicles in Argentina are ng powered.
Neither McCain nor Obama have mentioned this part of the solution.
This country built the atomic bomb in less time than would be required to write an "environmental impact statement" today.
We were the greatest country but no more. Bill Clinton wanted to build a bridge. Now I know why..so we could "get over it".
