Ask and you shall...

what was I just saying about the so-called experts who are just as full of shit. They are always next at the party. Really they are there all along, just waiting for the right moment to pounce. But that makes them sound athletic and noble and savvy and sharp like cats. Really they are more like those black slimy small bugs you find in dank places under rocks who cower together for fear of being exposed. But hey, who said anything about name calling, right?

Why do we deserve to use 1/4th of the world's oil? Why is it our God given right to drive SUVs? Why don't we cut consumption in half? You seem very willing to want to solve the problem, how do you feel about CAFE standards and reduced consumption. Time to find alternatives, buddy, where have you been? We have the alternatives, that is the problem. No one wants to use them because we want to drive Hummers and SUVs and spend all the money on oil exploration.

Either we are at or past peak production, in which case there is nothing we can do about the price of gas, drilling or no. Or it is due to speculation, in which case drilling won't do any good, we need regulation. Drilling offshore is not the answer. How long will it take for it to effect the level of imports, 10 to 15 years. So, we're supposed to wait? 15 years? We could have had the problem solved already if GM made cars which get 50 mpg instead of hummers (which get what, 8 mpg).

Solar, wind, biofuels, the answers are all already there. Time to develop alternatives? You mean time to come up with some more lies while you and your buddies go off roading and take trips to the bank to unload the bundles of cash from your oil stocks.

Whatever you do, don't click this link (studies show you're more likely if you shouldn't)
