Hey, alternative energy retards, are you all so thick that you don't understand that we have to
transition to alternative energies? That we can't just shut off oil and switch on the big, hidden, cheap alternative energy spigot?
Jesus. What is wrong with you people?
We must move to electric/ flexfuel cars.
Sure. Great. We DO need to move to some alternate. But we can't do it overnight. How many people have electric(a useless solution, BTW, since you're still burning the fossil fuels--just at the power plant instead of in your car) or flex fuel cars right now to 'switch' to?
'Switch to' means shell out tens of thousands of dollars--and that's everyone who's driving a fossil fuel powered vehicle right now.
And what makes you think that we'll be able to stop using oil when we stop burning it? Do you have any idea how many uses oil has? We're gonna need oile for all that crap even when we stop using it for power.
Transition.
That means getting all available resources working so we're not slammed with high fuel costs at a time whe we need our money to purchase alternatives. So we can get to a point where we're not burning oil anymore without screwing up the global economy any worse than it's already screwed.
Don't you get that?
And fuck your 'it'll take ten years' comment--Republicans were wanting to tap our reserves more than ten years ago but you retards whined THEN that it would take ten years---which we'd already be through if you all hadn't screwed things up. And now you whine that it'll take ten years again? And if we wait? Will you be there puling about the ten years the next time? Y'know, if you do, the time after that we might actually get to it--there sure won't be enough cheap power by then for you to be whining on the internet--of course, we might not have the resources to commit to further drilling them--because you'll have driven us back to the stone age.
It's just like this stupid bailout--there's so much footage of lefties saying 'there's no problem' that we're tripping over it. Just like the oil--we were warned, over and over, and you kept putting it off. And now we're in the shit.
Well, you know what? We can't just print up some money to make the coming oil crisis go away like we're gonna do over this bailout. Hell, we might not be ABLE to print up money to use.
But you'll just keep whining, won't you? Warning after warning. And you'll ignore it.
How can people who SEEM so smart BE so fucking stupid?
We need cheap energy to make this transition. If we don't have it we're gonna go into panic mode. We won't be able to afford the high priced alternatives--so the price of those alternatives won't go down.
Well, at less the caribou, polar bears and jellyfish will be safe.....
