From: Jeff Strickland on 4 May 2010 19:45 Do I feel guilty? No, I do not. Without regard to any other energy source, America needs oil. We can get that oil from our own sources and risk the bad effects of spills, or we can court the Ragheads and buy their oil. We could, and arguably should, migrate our energy sources to coal and natural gas, but those sources have objectionable overhead too. Perhaps not as objectionable as an oil spill, but somebody would pitch a fit for something if we used coal or gas. But coal and natural gas make poor energy sources for automobiles. They do make good energy sources for homes and power plants, and lots of other kinds of things where stationary energy is needed. I do not argue that stationary energy loads could be powered better than coal or natural gas can do, I only argue that if these energy loads use petroleum based energy, then we could switch them away and use the petroleum in our automobiles. I do not argue that natural ghas would not work in an automobile, but it hasn't the same energy value that petroleum has, so it would take more to drive a car 350 miles than the gasoline that is used now. I see no reason to not convert energy loads -- cars and factories -- to natural gas or coal, and cars would do far better with natural gas than with coal. America has coal and natural gas to sell to the world, but we should use it locally and wean ourselves from the Ragheads that would rather kill us that get rich from us. But, no, I do not feel guilty. It's not my fault that the envirowhackos have not allowed us to migrate to renewable energy, or nukes to power stationary energy loads. For example, my state has more than doubled its population in the past 30 years, but not added any new energy sources, so we need far more foreign oil than we might otherwise need if we had built alternative energy sources. Why do you ask?

Yep, oil junkies are like that. You have to be TOUGH and admit your problem. I was drinking too much diet cola and I just cut it off. ;)

You know, the OIL SLICK MONSTER is important because that way we have someone to blame. Have you realized NOBODY ADMITS RESPONSIBILITY, so they they can get to sleep?
