The knowledge and resources are there to make our "energy crisis" an afterthought. The problem is the corruption within our country from the very core of our political system. Just yesterday another Congressman was indicted for accepting improper "gifts" from construction and oil companies. I am certain that those in power such as he is are not too anxious to investigate the scandal that is our oil and gas industry. <BR/><BR/>The real question is why do the American people put up with it? An elementary student knows that we could be self sufficient in a matter of months but we get no closer. Maybe its like the deer in your yard; as long as people put out free food and corn why should they try to survive on their own? The people in the U.S. would NEVER rise up against their government because the majority think THAT is where everything comes from. The Manhattan Project would never get off the ground today because of OCEA, PETA, tree-huggers, Congress and every other piece of scum waiting for their bribe or inflated project payment.......jeff ludwickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15489837662761955774noreply@blogger.com
