She is showing the same great judgment that led her to support the invasion of Iraq. Vote Obama!

I was with him until he voiced the idea that lowered consumption in the US will lead to lower prices at the pump. He's done that before; it's a standing pattern. At that moment he is either foolish or pandering like the rest of them, unfortunately.

If he wants to tell the truth, he may have to start talking about cars being a luxury in the future.

As I reported here, even Bernie Sanders doesn't want to talk about peak oil.  It's a horrible situation -- I heard liberal talk show host Randi Rhodes say that it isn't a problem of supply and demand, it's speculators, and that gas prices will be the number one issue in the election! great! No clue as to what's going on, a perfect prescription for bad policy.  So right now, it's toxic.  It'll be like FDR trying to coax the country to stand against Germany, which took years.

Gas taxes pay for roads.

No gas tax no roads.

No roads no cars.

Grist should be anti-gas tax.

What's so bad with calling those leet folks with their over-simplified flat (i.e. infinite) earth models "quote-unquote experts"?
