Again, Dell, separate out the voices in your head from me

I'm against putting more into additional oil drilling. I want alternative forms of energy - wind & geothermal. I don't care for nuclear, there are safer ways to make steam. In the US we have no strong impetus to go alternative routes.

That's exactly the point...less dependancy on oil makes this all unnecessary

Less dependence on oil is a pipedream. Pardon the pun

I can (in Florida...not sure how this would work in other parts) convert my residence to complete solar for 150K... AND store enough energy to SELL energy BACK to Progress Energy (our local electric company).... yet I PAY my electric company to cool my house BY AN OIL FIRED ENERGY PLANT... You hear nothing about this... From the same people in charge getting their pockets lined by big oil....

40 inch Plasma TV's were 8K 10 years ago... Of course Solar has been around for decades and Big Oil has squelched any advancements so 150K to run AND sell energy is where we are now....

Of course amortized over 15 years ( given the typical 30 year mortgage) along with the (Obama GREEN) feeble tax incentives, you still would not only be living energy independent, but would actually be making money from your residence...

The last thing they need to hear.

Until Obama sells the Sun.

to BP.

All very true but doesnt change the fact that our dependence on oil is not ever going to be significantly decreased in our lifetimes without some unforseen technical advance. The fact that the oil barons have the most money isnt going to change.

You can disagree all you want but all those cars need oil and I don't see that changing in our lifetime. But what do you want from me, I am a neanderthal who hates birds and trees, defends the NBA's officiating from rabid (disillusioned?) Celtics fans and shuns public transportation...

France is France (good for them), this is America. I have already said,

I don't care for nuclear, there are safer ways to make steam

And, no, that doesn't make me "anti- Euro".

WTF are you talking about? Shouldn't good for them be better for us or are you really ignorant to the U.S.A. v. World in say economics? How about a world health care plan paid by us (U.S.A.)

No, I don't think that good nuclear for France means good (better) nuclear for the USA. Said that twice already.

HOW?

And Russia.

But the U.S. needs to stop drilling and magically all of those countries mentioned will too.
