Growth factor
Read the Hurowitz article.
Clinton signed off on a two week experimental tire burn (for energy and corporate business) that proved toxic in three days and was shut down.
Obama supports coal to liquids as an alternative to oil and natural gas. Global oil production seems to have peaked, and so too North American natural gas production has peaked. (Read The Oil Drum.)
Both examples are rooted in our widespred, bipartisan, insatiable demand for energy to support business-as-usual consumption patterns and unremitting exponential growth.
No presidential candidate, and few Democrats, let alone Republicans, do much (anything?) to question our indiscriminate growth assumptions.
