PIE

b.o. laughed and said if you don’t like the price of gas, mebbe you should get a smaller car.

A little context:

World production of petroleum has just about maxed out.

Asia, especially China and India, are consuming ever-increasing amounts of oil products.
They are not interested in conservation…only in expansion, exploitation, aggrandization.
China more so than India.

The US cannot control Asian consumption rates of the black gold.

The US possesses the world’s greatest reserves of various types of petroleum products.

The US has unilaterally decided NOT to aggressively develop them…because of political/environmental allegations.

We suggest that there comes a time in certain debates where the issues really do matter….that certain issues are not really matters of tit for tat; this or that; or some choice that really does not make a difference.
In this case of petroleum production, the welfare, even the security of the American way of life is at stake.

Now we are facing rising prices…not actual shortages.

b.o. and his entourage wants to limit fossil energy production…and wants to turn instead to ‘green’ technology…

We are in danger of developing pies in the sky while we run out of the energy to bake them.

Think about that when you next fill up your tank…say…$100 for a 25 gallon fill.

And think about our president who wants to make pies.
