>> Personally I have faith that human progress will find new solutions to everything from energy to health care to climate preservation.

IMO, you are exactly right. Liberals want to reduce our living standard and prevent what they fear. I believe whatever problems lie ahead, a wealthy nation is better prepared to innovate a solution.

We should be making energy as cheap as possible and allowing the nation's wealth to continue to increase as rapidly as possible... despite the liberal fear mongering!
