I had no intention of making this a political post so I hope it was
not widely perceived as such. I simply attempted to express my thoughts
(apparently unsuccessfully) about the oil issue strictly from an economic
perspective and some of its peripheral effects from my point of
view.
If it was perceived as being political, or I unsuccessfully
expressed myself, my apologies, for I had no intention of bringing
politics into the mix outside of stating that the solution will only be arrived
via a national energy policy.
I do not like political posts myself, and I do not think I expressed any
political bias or disdain one way or another.
Thanks
Lee

Subject: Re: [RT] OIL / Energy
Well, its becoming more political than financial but I can't say I
disagree with any of the reasons cited as why it is imperative that
we elect people who will design and implement an "moon program" to
reach energy independece within a decade. However, that said, it
must be economically viable. Productivity = energy costs. Therefore
any energy alternative must allows us to still compete on world
markets. If done properly we will develop alternate energy that is
actually cheaper than the cost to produce conventional hydrocarbon
energy and thereby remove the manufacturing compeitive advantage that
China is positioning itself to hold thru its extensive program to
secure long term conventional global energy. Thus we would not only
neutralize the future chinese advantage but turn it into a stone
around their neck as they are left saddled with uneconomic "old
energy" investments of trillions of dollars.
Energy Independence
solves much of our economic, environmental,
security, and technologic
problems looming ahead.
