- the administration that banned Canadian oil, says gasoline going to $9/gallon is out of the administration's control -- I cannot make this stuff up
- EPA admits it "crucifies" oil companies as general policy; Senator challenges; EPA backs off
- still slow-rolling the oil companies in the Gulf; no wonder Salazar thinks gasoline could go to $9/gallon
Disputing the perception that Americans are deeply divided over energy policy, Salazar said outside of Washington, people generally agree on what needs to be done: reduce US reliance on foreign oil; expand offshore oil and gas activity, but do it safely and in the right places; broaden the national energy portfolio with more solar, wind, geothermal, and biofuels; and improve motor vehicle fuel economy.Note that natural gas, which couldn't possibly be cheaper, was not even mentioned in in that paragraph. What is not said speaks volumes.

Except: I wish they would have gotten Morgan Freeman to do the narration.
Thank you to a reader for alerting me to the video. I had not seen it.
Do not write lengthy comments in response; I generally don't post comments to commentary posts.
ReplyDeleteWow, This video is Spot On! We have been on the wrong course for too long! Amazing what has been peddled in the schools and media. Send that thought to the government. It might be a little to direct for them. After all, they have had government jobs.
ReplyDeleteSome folks who have written in (and comments not posted) suggested that the video was "over the top." In fact, there were some very subtle truths that I think only some "older" folks will catch.
DeleteThe "ice age" scare was one of those. It was not long ago that Time Magazine featured on its cover the risk of a coming "Ice Age." Then it was "Global Warming," and now it's "Climate Change."
The video would have been more effective had the narrator not been seen, and simply a voice over. In a transcription of the narrative (no video) and it could be on the op-ed page of any newspaper in the country.
