Good subject, especially now
"Perhaps it is time for a balanced national consensus."
Really, it's time for leadership. It isn't "either/or" between conservation, new efficient technologies, and more energy production from mossback companies. We need them all. The goal is independence from having to mother-hen the oil countries of the world.
If oil is obsolete, so is the Taliban
It's simple. It isn't, apparently, easy, just to say those words. All the vacuum-heads have to say is "ok, gang, let's do both, in the interests of our security", and forget the dark backroom deals and secrecy b.s. Full disclosure, and full speed ahead on energy independence. There are a million ways to do this. I'm building an energy-independent home. No big deal, these days. The tech is all there. We just need motivation to make it a national priority, in spite of the mossback tendency to keep milking obsolete old businesses as-is...
Another reason we citizens have to take leadership role, and tell our so-called leaders how it's going to be. |
