Sounds great to me..... the fabulous thing about the market play is that price is a function of supply and demand.. Innovations that are not fiancially possible with crude at 20 bucks a barrel. But they become financially extraordinarily profit when you move the price to 100 a barrel. Look at the massive glut in the US of super sized gas guzzling large SUV's, full sized pick up trucks, and large Vans. There are companies gearing up for this paradigm shift, and we will need more coal fired and nuclear power plants to support this as well. there you go. People in America will be begging for relief including nuclear when the real fear of God ..... or rather endlessly rising prices mobilize them.. How many nuclear power plant problems have they had in the US or France the past 20 years or so. And think about it, the TV show "The Simpsons" is probably running out of steam and has ceased to be a cultural force. The parody of Homer at the Nuclear Power plant was oh so 1980's..... as was the "China Syndrome"... the movie with Jack Lemmon and Jane Fonda. But I'm also very positive on all forms of green and renewable energy. Heck, the storage capacity of batteries is the only thing standing in the way of a Solar solution being the "whole shootin' match" ie... the entire solution to the fossil fuel energy issue. btw... I guess I'm also forecasting a close down of the Simpson in the next year or two as well, you've typically blow out a show by the time you get to the movie anyway... so no big call. John
