Peak Oil: China vs. USA

Realold,

Like you I have been around a few years. You point out a critical issue that no one else (author and commentors included) seem to grasp. A great deal of our inaction on an energy plan can be traced to the environmentalists. They are the responsible parties for the lack of exploration and drilling on "big oil's" existing leases. They are the ones preventing a nuclear power solution to electricity production (Harry Reid, anyone?). They are the ones filing lawsuits to prevent grid construction, pipeline infrastructure, LNG, and on and on. Any energy policy to have any chance of success is going to have to limit the envoronmentalists. And that, given the track record of the last two decades; is just not going to happen.

Buy oil companies. Buy US oil and gas royalty trusts.
