Our last President served big oil, not his country. He should be impeached for this treason. If the U.S. had chosen to be a moral people, and leaving Iraqi oil alone, and following Al Gore, decided to develop the South Western deserts, with the technology of the times - solar/thermal-molten sodium - electricity installations, for the same amount of money as that war cost, ($650 Billion), today, we would be tapping into the largest, renewable, sustainable, energy source the world has ever known. It would have paid every energy bill in the U.S.A. for maintenance fees only - FOREVER! It would be equivalent to an oil field that can NEVER run dry! Low cost electric power, and storeable hydrogen gasoline replacement from the electricity, for all! But: big oil wouldn't like that now would they! After the millions of murders, and $650 billions of dollars, borrowed from our children’s futures and pissed away, with thousands of our own and others maimed and disfigured for life, millions of families utterly destroyed, ours and theirs, we are no closer to Iraqi oil production than the Iraqis are! The next time you hear a blithering idiot spoiled brat, drunken, drug addicted, sociopath, rich Arabic saber dancing daddie’s boy oilman, stand at a microphone and threaten YOUR safety with someone ELSE’S weapons, remember what you lost America, remember, and weep!

But the environmentalist in me winces at the idea. The electric automobile quest is booming, and so is the move to wind and solar power. It seems like we have the real potential to have an electric transportation infrastructure based on renewable power generation. So with this alternative, I find myself apposed to increased biofuel production that sometimes leads to deforestation, poor labor conditions in Brazil, the depletion of topsoil and pollution from the aggressive use of agricultural chemicals (<a href="http://www.brightfuture.us/new/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=157&Itemid=71" rel="nofollow">"The Great Biofuel Hoax of 2008"</a>).
