The Young Turks

Here is what I am interested in doing:

1. Withdrawing American forces from the Middle East so we can stop spending trillions of dollars on manufacturing terrorists.
   
2. We need a small, not a huge carbon tax, for step 6.
   
3. Block drilling in ANWR because of the WR in it.
   
4. We should absolutely expand refinery capacity, especially since we can now build much cleaner refineries than we could years ago.
   
5. Sure, drill in the Black Hills.  Make sure the local economies and environment don't get killed in the process.  Note that this is easier than doing so in Alaska because it is simply not as harsh of an environment.
   
6. Invest the money from 2 into alternative energy research.  This involves serious exploration of new photoelectric and solar thermal power engineering.

LOLWUT?

Which party was it that was totally all about destabilizing the economy of one of the most oil-rich nations in the world, again?  Not to mention the political and economic system of the entire Middle East?

Freedom is on the march, if by "freedom" you mean "the complete screwing of the world's energy economy."  Thanks, George!

As for alternative fuels, Ken, we both know that some proposals for such are entirely feasible provided you don't do it stupidly (algal-derived biodiesel, anyone?).
