I have no doubt you are right about this
Ok, so considering this, why would we be moving at what seems to be light speed to decouple ourselves from current sources of energy, when others are not proven, or even understood sufficiently?
.It just seems we are decoupling, we are not, at least not at any speed....gasoline powered cars will still be here when you and I are dead...
And how much of the country is currently using nuclear energy? We are seriously behind in this area if you ask me.
Read up on Architecture 2030,,,,its goals are to lessen the energy needs of buildings by 50 percent, thus lessening the needs for new power plants, which should all be nuclear, of course. Even Obama is in favor of Nuclear, thanks to him picking an engineer for DOE head...
And so how exactly does it make sense to restrict our own supplies, while allowing others to extract them, while we buy from overseas, including our enemies in the world?
So when they run out, we can sell them ours, at very high prices, that is my guess. Much of ours isn't as easy to get at, compared to Saudi Arabie, for example, plus their crude is sweet, ..google sweet crude for more info...
Changes America would deal with if it were viable, Work is no problem, we are Americans, Money we don't have.
I may not understand highly technical issues without you dumbing them down a little, but I am genuinely interested and from what I see being presented now, it is almost like we are being told to get off of fossil fuels, with nothing else in the wings to switch to.
Well, we can't switch, not yet...but if the federal and state govts were smart, they would lower the speed limits by 10mph on all hiways, freeways, but not in town, and let that be a signal to the OPEC countries...that we won't let them control our economy.
