Thank you, Host, for pointing me back to your original premise. I read it, but obviously did not absorb it. I read with great interest on how Norway manages it's oil economy. While they have many policies to discourage the waste of that resource, we have policies that encourage it for the lucrative gain of some corporations. Do we really need more SUV's and Hummers on the road? I can easily imagine that a forward thinking energy policy could incorporate Norway's policies within our capitalist structure.
The problem that I keep coming back to is that the chance of that happening is slim as long as our politicians continue to be on the money teat of those very same corporations.
