edspyhill01@yahoo.com - 25 May 2008 18:38 GMT We won't fix the fossil fuel problem until we absolutely have to. I'm not sure we can. Our entire economy depends completely on the internal combustion engine. It won't be easy when we have almost no mass transit system and the railroad infrastructure is crumbling.
Oh wait, the rightwingnut solution: blame somebody. That will surely fix the problem.

At least get you out of control of Congress.
You are the problem....so the solution is obvious.
Problem solved.

Now in a turnabout, GreenPussy is talking about nuclear energy, which they have been trying to shut down since Three Mile Island and before.

Right...do away with the engine and do what, start using the horse and buggy again? It would be nice to be able to stop using oil, but until we can, we cant stop using what is ours. Only an idiot like you would suggest we stop using oil without actually having a substitute for it.

And it's because of retards like you that we have $4 a gallon gas. There is no reasoning with people like you. I would almost go as far as saying you are as much in bed with foreign oil as Bush's family is. Maybe that's why you don't want us drilling our own oil while at the same time searching for a viable substitute for oil.

That's it, way to show your stupidity. Too bad for you, history shows how traitorous your party has been. Now you sound like a 12 year old instead of actually addressing the fact the democrats have consistently stopped us from drilling our own oil for the last 30 years.

There won't be a revolt over gas prices unless they suddently and noticably affect employment or the standard of living or exceed the cost of a Starbucks coffee. Also $4 is only slightly higher than the all-time price, after factoring inflation, and gas mileage is better now than in the early 1980s.

Not much, from what I have seen.

Like it or not, in 50 years, most of the world's energy will still come from hydrocarbons, unless their CO2 emissions limit their use.

They used to keep prices low because they had to -- the US could simply greatly increase output whenever the Arabs got out of line. But that power is gone, unless prices stay high long enough to make alternative sources of hydrocarbons get into the mainstream in huge volume or if the US gets very, very serious about conservation and alternative energy. The Saudis were afraid of such measures even as late as the 1990s.
The only thing we can do right now, short of overthrowing the Saudi royal family, is conserve, and this doesn't necessarily mean slowing down the economy.

When COVEs vote these things down, I'm sure you, being an excellent citizen, write to your elected barnacles and tell them your opinion. When you write to them, are the letters handwritten, or do you type them on the same computer you use for posting to newsgroups?

The truth is, you can't beat these k00ks down, the primary reason being the Democrat state and federal reps depend on their votes to get re- elected. They know which side their bread is buttered on and stick up for the k00ks.
Consequently we have no real jobs (have to save the land for farmers!), no real shopping centers (Wal*Mart is an Evil Corporation!), no real economy, not much of anything, really.

We had THRITY years since the last 'crisis' and *EVERYBODY* sat on their hands, never mind, 'my' party or 'your' party.
The Democrats are billing themselves as the party of "change", they have the power now, and what have they done of note in the past two years? Issued ultimatums for the 'apologies' from Japan and Turkey?

But NOOOOOOO, that is wasting money; that would be a government give- away; that could be considered an entitlement program.
