“The American way of life is not negotiable" This is true, my son, if you add Rat's caveat..."but Big Oil's WOL might be".
All the reaction has been to "Don't drill, regulate more, stop this, tax more". I've put out to my friends...stop drilling in exchange for stopping all professional baseball. Stop in exchange for mandatory 55 speed limit, violators lose car for life Stop, in exchange for mandatory national recycling law (one Al can = 0.5 gal gas) There's also 3 people or more in a car, all recreational vehicles with motors, whether air, land, or sea, altho you can hook up goats to a golf cart, ...
Nobody is willing to do any of those things... keep BAU, except...regulate BP..The American way of life truly is non-negotiable, altho peak oil really doesn't allow us a chance to negotiate, pray, or plead; just cry. |
