IMO, we're in for some real hard times and the saddest part is that it's avoidable, if the energy companies were set free to develop realistic resources. Instead they're being throttled by clueless politicians elected by clueless voters who are being dosed, on a daily basis, with deadly "watermelon" kool-aid... I think the US should build another Alaskan pipeline to a known reserve. The pipeline would remain unused until a national emergency arises. A super majority vote in Congress will allow the President to push a button to allow the oil to flow. The existing pipeline was built in 1977 at a cost of 8 billion. It is remarkable that the pipeline was completely built in a period of two years...800 miles across the tundra and several mountain ranges. (makes one wonder about the fence along the Mexican border). The existence of this alternate source would likely drive the price of oil down thus mitigating the cost of construction. The likelihood of a national emergency seem to increase daily. Why not make some preparations besides dumping oil into a cave somewhere in KY.
