Peak Oil: China vs. USA

What an excellent discussion.

I also wonder why executives are not getting on the bandwagon for natural gas trucks and busses. Natural gas is an excellent interim reduction on our importation of foreign oil, buying us time to develop and implement cleaner alternatives. If we can't get enough natural gas from the US then at least we can import it from Canada...much better than from the middle-east!

I'm going to read HR 1835, and write to my congressmen. It's so easy to do these days using the internet.

I own several of these stocks; have owned Atlantic Power for years, and the dividends just keep rolling in monthly. It doesn't matter to me that the price has been fluctuating; I've just bought more when it goes down.

Recently bought T and VZ paying over 6% quarterly. They both are well captialized; the dividends appear solid, and people are not going to stop using wireless phones.
