Doesn't FORCING the oil companies to "drill here, drill now," and then distribute the oil solely to US consumers, sound a lot like good ol' Soviet-style "collectivism"?

God bless that saintly Karl Marx!  He saves the day again!

On Boone Pickens and "alternative sources": Was it not clear already back in 1970 to anybody with a brain, and a bit of native cynicism, that NOTHING was going to happen with solar, wind, etc., at least with regard to "scaling them up" (to use DR's expression in his conversation with nose-picking Jim DiPeso), unless and until the oil-masters could find a way to make some profit out of those alternative sources?

Chickens deserve our true friendship! So do fish! So do other sentient beings! Let us learn to be kind.

from the first video: "we don't need a bunch of pie-in-the-sky, so-called 'opinions', based on some phony political rhetoric that means nothing".

interesting, sir. and you say you believe that drilling for oil anywhere and everywhere is the solution to our energy crisis. very interesting with this 'phony political rhetoric' bit.
