My conservative idiot here in Utah keeping talking about the shale oil in their mountains.

But none of them will talk about the polution and water it will take to get the oil out of the shail, only that there is three times the amount up there then there is in Saudi Arabia.

Then they talk about Alaska and the drilling in the west coast that they want to exploit. stupid people. That some how it will help us in the future.

Right now the oil companies own all this land, where oil has not been drilled for, and I come across a article in time where they are asking for more land. I just dont know why they are asking for more land when they wont drill in the land they have. Its all bullshit.

I think Cheney and those guys said, lets not drill our oil, we can make more money on oil futures, lets keep our oil till the end so we have the war machine when we need it when shit hits the fan. I think there plan would have worked if it were not for the fact that the mortage and banking industry couldnt take the trillon dollar hit of the Iraq war, and other on forseen financial problems in the investment sector, so the rich diverted their money into the bush game and the whole american economic system fell apart.

The only good news is that given the coming credit card crisis, and major depression. The government will have to regulate the rich again like they did after the great depression. We will start to invest in alternative energy solutions.

But the Cheney adminstration may have been right about one thing, we dont have a solution that replaces oil, and when the oil runs out, the world will go to war over the last oil, and if we have it, then we still have a war machine to fight them back from killing us and taking what they want.
