ParticipantBTW, our EXISTING petrol-based energy industry has been the recipient of enormous investments, subsidies and foreign policy support from the United States Government over the last century.
Just don’t go yanking my chain about free markets and socialism and how renewable energy will never work because ‘Oil and Gas’ is as close as you can get to a state-sponsored, state-supported industry.

ParticipantActually, natural gas reserves are strategically more important than coal. Next-generation delivery will be electric and powered from a mixture of sources. The technology and infrastructure is going to require massive public investment and subsidy to develop, in part because we’re running out of time. Remaining oil reserves are overstated.
The main issue I have with your post is ridiculing improvements to US energy policy as hippie-green-liberal nonsense. It’s this decade-old ‘Anti-Gore’ GOP talking point bullshit.
There are environmental benefits to energy policy changes, to be sure, but the main drivers are economics and national security. Every business in my field is getting hit by rising utility and energy costs. If we find an answer to this, it has the potential to radically reshape the cost landscape for a wide range of businesses, not to mention spawning a whole new industry.
Basically, while you we’re getting all worked up ranting about liberals, or socialism, or Al Gore, or Obama… Whatever. The world moved on.

Participantpartypup, would you suggest I invest in some ‘bling’? Heavy gold chains hanging around my neck would go well with the long beard and flowing robe. I might even be able to obtain some ‘Magic Bling’…
Moreover, bling purchased at today’s market prices could be expected to appreciate quite nicely in the years ahead. Something to consider, I suppose…
