The rules of economics are changing.
For the past 100 years, we have grown depend upon cheap energy as our Divine right.
Our society is built upon living in the suburbs, driving big macho automobiles, keeping as warm in Winter and as cool in Summer as we please..thank you very much. At the same time we could afford to take up every Liberal environmental cause, genuine or crack pot, with out very many delitorious results.
This has all changed. At 5.00 / gallon, gas is becoming a painful reality to the American public.
The prospect of filling a 300 or 500 gallon home heating tank several times next winter is a daunting task for many households.
These new economic realities have changed the dynamics of our beliefs. Off shore drilling is now appearing much more attractive. Oil spills have been negligible at best, and the new technologies make safe drilling a reality, that even the terrible hurricanes that hit Texas, Louisianna ,and Alabama in recent years has been completely free of any oil spills.
This rapid unprecedented run up in energy costs has hit us like a 2 ton gorilla, the equivalent of a sneak attack by foreign powers.
Everything is being examined, and suddenly sounding more attractive, including off shore drilling, drilling in Alaska, extracting oil from the huge oil shale deposits in the North West, nuclear power, solar power, and wind power. The rush for new technology is opening up a major new scientific expansion. At these prices,anything is fair game.
The Democratic and Liberal agenda, is once again tied to reactonary small minded policies.
Global Warming, the fictitious, fabricated,” boogey man” of the Liberal pindits, is a poor reason for Americans to have to stock up on sweaters and long johns in order to avoid freezing this winter.
Our enemies have overplayed their cards. They should have fought this spike in energy prices as much as we do. It is a call to arms for the American public, and We don’t like to be pushed around.
Be Careful! We Might Just Push Back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
we might even need to use nuclear power, and fill our country with hundreds of clean burning, energy efficient, atomic disasters
