[QUOTE]Originally posted by Eric Cartman: [QB] [QUOTE]Certainly, energy demand WILL have to be met, unless you LIKE rolling blackouts. Whether we meet it on our own or continue to put greater reliance on the Middle East is what is in question.[/QUOTE]Not reliance. I'd use a more descriptive term, if my vocabulary encompassed one. Wait... I may have found one. How's domination sound? [QUOTE]The author suggests that we would be better off pursuing alternate energy sources than continuing to utilize foreign oil, and he is entirely correct.[/QUOTE]Seems his suggestions are falling on deaf ears, but hey, that's Big Oil for ya. [QUOTE]I push for this myself, as there is nothing I would like better than to tell the Middle East to go screw itself, and not needing their oil would greatly enable that.[/QUOTE]Personally, I think the ME has been screwed over a little too often for the region to let the bad blood flow away as if decades of exploitation and powerplay never happened. You CAN'T simply pull out without there being some kind of backlash. [QUOTE]It would also free us up to act from a position of far greater strength in the region, should our ire be incurred.[/QUOTE]Oy. Ramifications? We don't need no steenking ramifications! [QUOTE]However, I think that the only way we will get to that point is if we elect someone who has no connections whatsoever to business or oil or industry, and who pushes science and technological development.[/QUOTE]'Tis a shame such people are generally not found in the political arena. [QUOTE]As opposed to what? A Dictator is a Dictator.[/QUOTE]What matters a great deal, though, is who's doing the string-pulling, and WHY. Particularly to those living under the regime in question. [QUOTE]Whose stigmatizing this guy? His points are all valid. You're being paranoid again. You're just confusing the people making the invalid points with the people making the valid points.[/QUOTE]There is hardly any room for confusion. Both parties routinely make invalid points, but the Reps are generally more adept and skillful at it. :D [/QB][/QUOTE]
