Schroedinger, Your efforts are admirable but the task you are attempting is impossible. I have tried elsewhere and failed miserably. You cannot win a religious argument. I believe what is missed by our opponents is that there is no single silver bullet. What there are is is a large number of incremental steps - including wind and solar. My suggestion is to relax and profit. The magic phrase in politics is to "follow the money". The question I have is who profits from restrictions on domestic energy production? I submit I do and others on this board do as well. We owe the opposition a debt of gratitude. The question remains - who profits on the side of the opponents? Enjoy the ride.

So what do we do when that oil is gone? Even if what you say were true, it would not be anything but a temporary fix. The oil would run out, as almost all the other oil fields in the U.S. have gone dry. A problem cannot be fixed until it is recognized as a problem. The real problem is not a lack of drilling but a limitation of resources that can be drilled. I guess I should not be surprised, however, that there are still a lot of people who just imagine that if the government will "get out of the way" of oil companies, everything will be fine. I think that the government ought to give the oil companies incentives to get into the nuclear power business instead of threatening to punish them for making a lot of money.
