Cap,
You are correct that localization is the way to go for the future. It is being done in various places I’ve read about, but we still need to stop the internationalists at the federal level or we will lose everything to their socialist agenda.

OK, screw conservation.

Putting food into SUVs is simply immoral.

Oh, we’ll be drilling up here in Alaska soon enough, although there’s not a lot of oil in ANWR. Maybe the Chukchi Sea holds a gigafield. Doesn’t really matter.

We still have capacity bottlenecks in our refining and distribution infrastructure. Never mind that roughly 80% of current global oil infrastructure is in serious need of maintenance (hundreds of billions of $$$). The oil distribution infrastructure is steel. Steel rusts. Much of the infrastructure is decades old. We had our taste of this earlier in the year. BP has a horrible maintenance record.

The fact that they aren’t re-investing in their existing infrastructure should be setting off alarms. They know that there isn’t that much crude left in their existing fields. Maintenance investment doesn’t pass their internal rate of return threshold. It’s cheaper to pay the fines when the oil leaks.

Joe, you need to be advocating for increased small-scale farming. Localization is the name of the game in the coming decades. Transporting food thousands of miles won’t be an option when oil hits $200/barrel.

Our food supply is petroleum-dependent. We are a petroleum-importing nation. Can you see the problem here?

Hey Cap,
I never signed on to Bush’s nonsense plan. On my website I call for increased nuclear energy to produce electricity, and I think we should drill in Alaska, offshore, and in Crawford, texas for that matter.

True Republican humor rears its ugly head… fat jokes.

I heard the founder of Wikipedia talking on a youtube clip.

He said that America really isn’t divided by the right and the left.

It is divived by the “thoughtful” and by the “jerks”. Both parties have representation in these two groups.

John,

The subject of this thread is fatass AlGore, not the bonehead moves of both parties.

Do you think AlGore should meet Jenny Craig…or continue his assault on every buffet he crosses?
