There we go again, two minds thinking alike. I just finished writing about how we stopped gas and oil production to help "save the planet" and lower carbon emissions, and then ask, beg OPEC to sell us back, the same amount we just gave up. We use it just like we always have and put just as much carbon into the air as if we were burning the energy that Americans produced and pay for generating huge sums of money and jobs.
Why is this so damn hard for some people to understand. I apologize about assuming we are thinking a like. You may be thinking, "what the F*** is he running on about". Yeah, I'm way past my bed time and I see the wine glass is empty. Originally Posted by HedonistForever

But it's likely a strategic standpoint that has long past it's usefullness.
