George Bush earned Harvard MBA and Yale undergrad degree. Yet, he's portrayed as a dunce.<br />I really wonder about people's grasp of reality when reading comments by "A Red Mind..." above. Our economy doesn't reflect avoided costs associated with resource waste and pollution? What? <br />We need energy independence because without it, more Americans will die at the hands of the oil-rich Islamists. Every dollar we send to them, is one that comes back to haunt us later. The Saudis use their petro-dollars to fund our enemies and spread hate in their schools. They are funding schools and mosques in the US for the sole purpose of undermining our society and growing their ranks of warriors. How foolish are we?<br />I invite all Americans who accept this threat to encourage ANWAR drilling, drilling of CA and FL and wherever our oil explorers can find it! Build more nukes at record rates. <br />Al Gore's hysterics only increase our dependence on the US-haters. How many more Americans must die before we get it?<br />F.

Energy independece is crucial for national security, protecting the enviroment is a duty. Absolutly.

That said, some of the ideas generated by the Kyoto crowd really will be necessary. Our dependence on foriegn oil impacts security decisions--eg-- if we were energy sufficient I have to believe we would have bombed Iran already. Our market economy doesn't reflect avoided costs attributable to resource waste and pollution very well-- it is folly to think oil will last forever, or that spewing garbage into our air, sea and land won't hurt us eventually. We need market-oriented, free enterprised based solutions, and the leadership to implement them.A Red Mind in a Blue Statehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01423945703299761676noreply@blogger.com
