The problem is that the cooling/warming cycle of the earth is not being followed...the earth is warming at a much higher rate than normal. If you studied this, you would understand the difference. I have. I do.

I dont think this needs any rebuttal. A statement like this only comes from someone who doesn't understand the rest of the world.

Right. I am not advocating a move to agrarian society, I am advocating a change in thought that supports sustainable energy rather than reliance on the middle east and other oil-bearing nations. 250 million people living in caves? I don't think there are enough to go around.

The US government has all the authority that they need to push thru energy reform. The fact of the matter is that there are too many people making too much money from the current situation for there to be any changes made.

No, but I would suggeest that you look at the predictions of M. King Hubbert, who predicted the US soverign oil peak in the 1970's.

This makes me yawn. I am not a liberal or a democrat. I
AM a concerned National of the US, a resident of the UK and a citizen of the world...and it is short-sighted views like this that need to be addressed by the industrial nations of the world, not jus the USA.
"Dont worry, be happy" Right?
...Right??
