Australia's Can-Do Energy Policy Vs America's Inability to Even Put In An Oil Pipeline Through Fly-Over Country

Link here.

Look at the picture, read the story, and then reflect on the fact that the US cannot even lay a transcontinental energy pipeline in the 21st century.

I have just completed a 2200-mile round trip, much of it on the Eisenhower Interstate System.

The country was fortunate the interstate system was completed when it was. The country no longer has the political will to accomplish such a project these days, and even if it did, doesn't have the money.

Be that as it may, look at the picture again at the link, re-read the story, and then reflect again on the fact that the country doesn't even have the political will to put in energy infrastructure for future generations in the form of such mundane things as oil pipelines.

Australia, on the other hand, still has vision.
