Wrong. I do understand the rest of the world, I just don't think that the rest of the world should be involved in OUR domestic policy. Our government was not elected to make the rest of the world happy, it was elected to take care of US.

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.

If this is true, then you will have no problem citing the part of the US Constitution that is operable, right?

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.

Why don't we look at the predictions of Nostradamus and base our policy on that then?

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.

So you have a "world passport"?
We have a right to have what you term "short-sighted views". We have a right to base our own governmental policies on what is best for US. If you don't like it? Well, sorry about that...
