Your fantasy about vast reserves of 'domestic fossil fuel' just doesn't add up. <http://www.heatingoil.com/home/oil-reserves-worlds-largest-depending-view116/> I know you're in deliberate denial about anthropogenic global warming, buttressed by your phalanx of well-paid deniers and their pseudoscientific 'evidence', but guess what, the climate doesn't follow politics. We need to wean ourselves off fossil fuels (they're vastly more valuable as chemical feedstocks, anyway!) and since your vaunted private enterprises is staggeringly risk-averse, the only way to bootstrap alternate energy sources is to subsidize it...besides, what do you think the Mining Act of 1872 was but a ginormous subsidy? -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "StrataList-OT" group.
