Thread Name: BS: Its Americas' oil?
Subject: RE: BS: Its Americas' oil?
CarolC is entirely correct...
Our energy policy is based on as much consumption of oil as we possibly can figure out how to consume under our watch on Earth.
Instead of conserving, it's consume, consume, consume. And why? To make oilmen richer than their wildest dreams...
Take the 8 mpg Hummer, fir instant. With a sticker of roughly $70,000, Bush and Cheney have put into a place where you can own one fir as little as half that. How? By being able to write it off. Who pays for that gas guzzler? The average working stiff who's driving a 15 year old VW Jetta that gets 35 mpg, that's who... Meanwhile, rich folks get rewarded for narsisitic consumption!!!
