I was thinking of exposing here the lies about the United States' energy situation that Obama told yesterday in his press conference, but John Hinderacker of the Powerline blog did the task for me ... and a far better job than I ever could have done (please, you must read: Obama's Long Nose ... and the first comment at least.)
Suffice it to say that the environmentalists amongst us seem hell-bent on turning our country into an pristine Eden bereft of heat in the winter, fuel for our transportation, and electricity to comfort our lives. And I can't for the life of me figure out why?
Afterthought: be prepared for another onslaught of media hysteria about the nuclear accident in Japan (as a result of the earthquake). It may well be quite serious, but we surely can learn from it. (What if we never built another plane after the first airliner crash?) If we ever construct another nuclear power plant in my lifetime, I will be surprised. Even though, by not doing so, we will help seal our fate as a failed nation.
After afterthought: The only ray of sunshine in all this insanity is that ... long after all the oil has been pumped out of the Middle East ... and we are speaking Mandarin ... we'll still have most of ours underground ... to power the high speed rail lines in China.

Yeah, those nukes in Japan are working out real good. Can you spell China Syndrome?
I love the way you equate the meltdown of nuclear reactors to an airplane crash. And locally, didn't they decide to build Plymouth and Seabrook plants on known earthquake fault lines? Maybe the technology is too dangerous to put in the hands of bureaucrats and/or robber barrons.
And those who wear pinkie rings?
