FIll 'Er Up

But of course the cultivation of more electricity requires very heavy hits on current law and public attitudes. The problem of conversion of coal to liquid fuel has counterparts in the generation of electricity by nuclear, gas and hydroelectric plants. The anti-nuclear lobby is the toughest Luddite entity in history. It has done everything short of rebuilding Hiroshima and Nagasaki to paralyze nuclear energy.

That is the problem. We are not short of energy. We are short of rational laws and common sense. Even as the public has decided that global warming is a problem, new evidence shows that man is not causing global warming, and the problem is not nearly as severe as the chicken little proponents claim. However the "public" has bought into the lies, and now it looks like stupid laws will destroy our economy, fueled by a public that will never accept blame for the consequences of the laws they are demanding.
