Are there really oil reserves in the Everglades? If so, then I agree with Fred...let's pump that shit out. I have less interest in the well being of Alligators than I in the well being of Caribou, and I don't have much interest in the well being of Caribou when it comes into conflict with national security. |
Insane. Plenty of money is going into battery research; no gov handouts are needed. More would go into fusion if investors could understand it. Sadly, the gov has already sunk way too much money into the kinds of fusion which will never be economically feasible, so investors say, "fusion will never work". |

Exploiting non-renawble resources while ignoring renewable resources is stupid. It will run out, eventually. Why not get the leg up now, while we can? We have industries that depend on energy, but not on oil. Our biggest ideological rivals (except for China) don't. Why should we drill for something for a very short term gain? |
