  • The Truth About Fossil Fuels and Renewable Energy (Part II) [View article]
    I didn't want to take any notice of jerrydd, however enough is enough. There aren't going to be any solar-powered aircraft or biomass-powered missile cruisers. Nor are we going to scrap the commercial transport fleet to retrofit Peterbilts and diesel locomotives to burn natgas and crawl over the Rockies at 5 mph, carrying half as much freight.

    Use 'renewable' if you want. But don't pretend you're self-sufficient. It can't exist or function without oil power for mining, manufacturing, transport, public safety and national defense. It's absurd to claim that government subsidizes oil. You have it exactly backward. Oil producers pay royalties and taxes to the Feds, the producing states and localities, plus the paychecks and benefits of millions directly and indirectly employed.
