Energy independence sounds all well and good, but if the world is gonna run out of fossil fuel in the foreseeable future, doesn't it make sense to use up the other guy's first? This may seem a bit greedy and politically incorrect to put ourselves first, but to me it seems like a smart thing to use up the other guy's reserves first. After all, what condition would you rather be in? The Arab, South American, Siberian, etc. oil fields have been depleted and those of the U.S. are still producing, or our fields depleted and us completely dependent on foreign oil? Bear in mind that the governments of some of those places don't have much of a history of being nice to us. How would they behave if they literally had us "over a barrel"? Keep in mind that this is an international forum read by people in countries with proven oil reserves much larger than those in the US. Ryk Don't worry. When other reserves run out, I'm sure our military will take notice of yours too. Sounds like that old 'Manifest Destiny' plan again. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manifest_Destiny |
