AGW

Even if you don't accept the science on climate change and don't believe that the world is warming; even if you don't believe that the world's demand for oil will sooner rather than later exceed production; even if you believe that the US has enough domestic oil reserves to keep going forever - if the rest of the industrialized world is moving towards alternative energy technology, why the hell wouldn't you want to be the one who is selling it to them?

Argue against the truth of climate change if you must, but don't stand in the way of progress. The US can make a ton of money, employ a heck of a lot of people and improve our trade balance if we develop the new technology first.

What is it with this country and acting against self-interest? We have political ideology acting against national prosperity and security. I can't see any reason for this except to help keep the oil companies going. Apparently even they can't see where oil is heading.

And why can't I get a gas powered generator to run the electric motor in my car? Forget the 600 pound battery. If it's good enough for a locomotive, why won't it work in my car?

The title is an acronym for Anthropogenic Global Warming. Which this post really isn't about.
