i think a serious discussion and rethinking of placing human beings in the bulls eye of nature's most devastating occurrences over and over again And not just humans. Our energy production facilities, which have been running flat out just to stay even with demand, have been kicked in the crotch. Significantly higher prices and shortages are coming very soon. The recently passed port laden boondoggle of an "energy bill" isn't the answer, either. This country and our economy doesn't, and never will, run on windmills and solar panels. It runs on petroleum and its derivatives and we need more. If the powers that be in this country do not quickly remove the numerous impediments to drilling, exploring and expanding (and regionally diversifying) refining capabilities, then we are in for hard times ahead. I don't think that the problem is chicken little or hype. IMO, it's real and imminent. Time will tell. Interesting times we live in...
