Man made global warming is a hoax. oism.org Brokaw and Discovery's hack job isn't worth the time they wasted to produce it. epw.senate.gov The US has more than plenty of domestic oil so that we don't have to "fund the terrorists". You can't get any more "secure" than producing your own petroleum. We've already are seeing what government meddling with alternative energies has produced, a disaster from the food we eat, getting to work, the goods we manufacture, to shipping the good we produce. We should not "pull out all of the stops" to stop using oil. All alternatives to date, are a waste of time. Let's use the oil we have, and if and when oil starts running out, then the free market will produce the next solution. Government is the problem, not the solution. America's largest problem is all three candidates are for open borders and all the illegal aliens that can swim across the border.

So my question for the thread: is there anyone here who believes that we should not pull out all the stops to become energy independent? If so, why not? Please address not just climate change arguments, but also those around national and economic security. There is no more important world level, terror preventing, supreme importance national initiative than to become energy indipendent. If the money we spend on waging war in the ME (to secure oil supplies, and let's face it, we wouldn't give a shit who kills who if there was no oil there) were spent domestically to accelerate our migration, we'd be "half" way there already.

Mindmeld, > So my question for the thread: is there anyone here who believes that we should not pull out all the stops to become energy independent? When you no longer confuse the drive to become energy-independent with the fight against global warming, then I'll give you my answer. Tenchusatsu
