CONSIDER THAT WE WOULDN'T BE BEHOLDEN TO BIG OIL IF WE HAD STARTED WEANING OFF IT WHEN IT WAS FIRST SUGGESTED 50 YEARS AGO. CONSIDER WHO RAN FOR PRESIDENT THAT CAME FROM AN OIL FAMILY! NO NOT BUSH -HE' WAS JUST A FRONT COMPARED TO THE FAMILY WHO OWNED A BLOCK IN DOWNTOWN NEW YORK!
EVEN IKE SEE THE FUTURE AND SUGGESTED WAYS TO AVOID THE PROBLEMS WE ARE HAVING.
EVERY OUNCE OF ENERGY WE PRODUCE THAT DOESN'T USE FOSSIL FUEL WILL BUY US A FEW SECONDS TO COME UP WITH AN ALTERNATIVE ENERGY SOURCE TO HOLD OUR CIVILIZATION TOGETHER.
WHAt good is wealth if you have nothing to spend it on? The worst is yet to come.
for our youth have lost their skill for survival with out an energy source. And their will not be time to learn when the wheels stop turning.
