Every day I wake up to find a further lack of logic spewing from Washington DC. Today we hear that the government wants to hurt the energy industry of the US by increasing their taxes due to their global warming impacts. Hey, I just saw some big endorsement ads for "clean coal" using video of the president as he spoke of the goodness of clean coal. Oh yeah, he said in other interviews that he would bankrupt coal companies if they tried to build clean coal plants. So, we have no new energy development allowed, a degrading energy infrustructure, and higher taxes on existing energy companies because they make money (and cause global warming)- all while our country speeds towards massive deficits and hyperinflation, the displacement of the dollar as the world's currency, and a lack of a viable home economy.<br> <br> As the world gets more desperate, what are the odds that the middle east will light up in a war, that North Korea won't attack South Korea because it has nothing to loose, and that other energy streams (and costs) won't be impacted. We have a chance to upgrade while the going is ok-to-bad, but we'll squander it too.<br> <br> Here's a great "shovel ready" project for us. Get your shovels ready, we're about to pay a LOT more for our energy through neglegance, lack of foresight, and wealth envy. Man, I keep pulling the cord, but the bus won't stop to let me off. God help us all.
