Protecting the environment has nothing to do with saving the Earth, it's about saving human life. The Earth was here long before humans and will be here long after. We are such a small insignificant spec in the history of the Earth. If you don't believe me, look at a timeline of the Earth. We'll be the fossil fuels of some species to follow.<br />Having said that, mining for and refining shale oil takes far more water (essential to human existance) than the western states have available. Research it. Government has not got in the way of shale oil production and has actually subsidized it in the past. It is just not economical. Shale oil production has been tried numerous times and each time it's been an economical disaster. Ask Exxon and Shell how well they fared. Again, that is with subsidies from the Federal government.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-436050745362775121.post-9802028840115687992011-10-24T04:33:44.698-07:002011-10-24T04:33:44.698-07:00I personally think it's time to STOP sending b...I personally think it's time to STOP sending billions upon billions of dollars to brutal, fanatical regimes and dictators in the middle east who then use that money to fund Islamic fundamentalist ideology and terrorist activities (who brutalize and terrorize their own citizens, neighboring countries, citizens around the world and lead to the constant military involvements in the Middle East). <br /><br />Let's do EVERYTHING we can to gain total energy independence - solar, wind, new technologies as well as oil, coal, nuclear, etc. <br /><br />It's ridiculous to be focused on protecting the environment at the expense of millions of human lives so I say take advantage of all of the US's energy resources while investing in the alternative technologies of the future. <br /><br />I'm all for the environment. One of the reasons I voted for Obama (a mistake I will NOT make again) was because of his vision of the Green economy. However, I'm much more for human life. It's a matter of the right priorities.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-436050745362775121.post-41655345279114439862011-10-06T05:18:44.749-07:002011-10-06T05:18:44.749-07:00How to solve the school bully problem: appoint a ...How to solve the school bully problem: appoint a commission composed of the bullies to hear any complaints.
