An Energy Policy that Makes Cents (and Sense)

I will copy and save and distribute this post to everyone I know. The various "yes but.." comments miss two key points: 1. The peak oil problem is an economic disaster that MUST be addressed FAST and 2. There are ways to handle the environmental concerns over drilling and nuclear issues and dirty coal etc. - they require research, development, regulation, and tax assistance but are not unsurmountable. Watching angry truck drivers do a "slow down" and seeing mass movements to turn off the lights for an hour along with other laughably ineffective efforts to do something offers a serious warning - just wait for the chaos that comes when gas is $5 per gallon. Those days are approaching. Note that the media prefer to offer air time to worthless rants against big oil corporations for so-called unconscionable profits instead of offering thoughtful analyses about the real cause of the problem. Our society at large is unfortunately ignorant of reality and are fed nonsense. The complicity of the media to continue feeding misinformation to the public is what's unconscionable.
