The Energy Question


Is the answer to the energy crises, the wind, or solar, or the hamster wheel maybe???

While America is divided about just how to proceed in solving this problem of energy or the lack thereof, we are still paying an ever increasing price for the fuel that runs our lives our economy and our country.

There is no doubt that cheep energy is what contributed to American prosperity, and it is the refueling in air tanker that has made America a superpower. We are what we are, because of our values and our oil. Over the last several decades it seams that we have been incrementally losing both.

So what is the answer? Well, as for our values, we should probably look to God. But for energy; shouldn’t we look to wind, solar, or nuclear? How about coal, or wood, or thermo solar? Maybe natural gas or propane, or bio-diesel, I’m thinking garbage, we certainly have enough of it. I remember an idea someone had, which was to harness the tides. Then there is the making of alcohol from food, or stripping the hydrogen out of water. Oh! I almost forgot, there is always drilling for our own oil. But then isn’t it the lack of drilling for our own oil that got us into this fiasco in the first place?

Yes, I think is was these green weed hugging people that thought that oil was dirty, well at least it wasn’t green. Moreover, it created a lot of smoke, kind’ a like when the green people said that we should let Yellowstone burn because it was natural. It may have been natural alright but it sure wasn’t green. But I digress.

The point is that while we have become greener, we have become a dependent nation, and we are fast loosing our independence and the superpower status that protects it. Do you realize that we are almost totally dependent on a foreign power for the life blood of this nation? Moreover this foreign nation is not only our enemy but the enemy of the free world. Do you realize just how really insane this is? If we the people don’t turn this around and soon, this nation will become an historical 200 year good try at independence and liberty.

So while we are all sitting around being green, just what kind of energy do we pursue? Answer… everything; all of the above. Yes anything that burns and or produces energy, such as the liberal newspapers. More than just finding an answer to our energy problems, we must do it as an independent country.

It is astonishing just how short sighted America has become. We are so blinded by our own selfish hypocrisy that we can no longer see beyond the end of our nose. The primary goal should be how we can once again, become energy independent; regardless of what color it is, green as spinach, or as black as coal.

We are now supporting our enemy to the tune of nearly a trillion American dollars a year. We are totally financing our enemy’s war against us… Am I… the only one out hear that understands just how totally insane this is? But de Andréa, its okay, we are green.

The United States of America has the historical reputation of meeting any challenge, as well as out producing any country in the world. If we still have the will to survive and if we are willing to make some temporary sacrifices, we could be energy independent in five years.

Once we have shed ourselves of the dependence on our enemy, we can then do whatever research we would like to find a clean green alternative renewable energy. Besides that, the war would be over. In the mean time we should use what ever is necessary to independently power up this country with oil, wood, coal, nuclear and anything else we can use, yes including the hamster wheel if we have to.

While we encourage the green-people to develop wind, solar, thermo, garbage, hydrogen, and hamster power the rest of us can build oil refineries, nuclear, liquefied coal, and drill for crude before Cuba and China get it all. We have shale-oil; we can help Canada develop their oil-sands. Come on we put a man on the moon and built the Continental Railroad, more importantly we invented TANG…

THE BOTTOM LINE: Yes the bottom line is we need to have a group hug and stop all this bickering, put aside our partisan ideologies, and start working together to save what we have left of America. Trust me in five years we can all go back to fighting about green things and which weed needs the biggest hug. Remember if we can’t save ourselves, we certainly cannot save the planet.

Please forgive me for bashing my liberal green brothers; or not. Right now, I think I need a hug…
