9/11

Even if 9/11 was a Pearl Harbor to get us involved in peak oil early, it is murder to solve a problem that we made. The USG should not have quashed high efficiency oil programs, nor should they have dismantled the water splitter. They should not have bowed to Saudi or middle eastern or internal voices that said to promote high oil consumption. The petrodollar should not be propped up by American international politics at the expense of civilians, clean and efficient industry, and a society that can ethically weather peak oil.

This is going 6 miles out of the way through brambles and mires to avoid a pothole. The beer is getting warm, c'mon.
