Disaster at sea from time to time is a given. We learn from it. Spare
some heart for all those so far killed and yet to be killed in Iraq --
for nothing.


Now, now. Record profits for oil companies and Halliburton/subsidiaries is

This reply is not to roil anybodys pot but, something to think about.
Suppose the US suddenly had no need for the gross amounts of oil that
we gobble up. In other words, we went solar, nuclear, and wind in a big
way and other countries did the same.
This would plunge all oil producing countries into economic chaos, in
turn dragging the rest of the world into the same mess.
Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, and all the others would go
t u and we would lose markets.
I've often wondered why neither of our inglorious political parties
do nothing to wean the US off oil, but maybe its not such a hot idea.
