Eric, > America and the world run on oil, safe guarding it against disruption is a proper goal of the USA.

You're talking to a guy who thinks the world's energy needs can be satisfied with solar and wind power.

A square meter of sunlight has one kilowatt of energy. At the equator. At high noon.

Anyone with a background in science or engineering can understand the implications behind that fact. Mindmeld does not.

Once there were people like you who said man was never meant to fly.

The party of NO strikes again!

For part of the solution sure - but solar is only good in some parts of the country and not 24x7 and we have learned from England that windmills freeze up in harsh conditions and can't operate.

I would love to see 100+ new nuclear plants to enable us to retire coal and some dams and even breach a few dams to fix salmon populations.
