The Most Important Book You Will Ever Read - The Oil Endgame.
none
There are lots more ideas in this book, and you should read them all. Yet despite the gravity of the problem and the creativity of the solutions, I hear next to nothing about it. I have no idea what my representatives think of all this, or what they are doing about it. Do you? I do know that our government provides large tax breaks for businesses which buy these huge gas guzzling SUVs for "business purposes." Our representatives have chosen to subsidize our downfall. Perhaps we should subsidize theirs.
I've never heard a word about this book or its solutions on TV either. I know all about Michael Jackson, Terry Schiavo, O.J. Simpson. I know Britney Spears is having a baby, and feel wonderful for her. I know all about gay marriage. Why didn't I know anything about solving our oil problems until I stumbled across this book? Is part of the cause of our problems that we have our priorities mixed up?
The authors talk almost apologetically of the $180 billion price tag for the steps we need to take, even though much of it comes from private funds. To me this sounds incredibly cheap, and I am a taxpayer. Double it and it sounds cheap. This year alone, our deficit will exceed $400 billion. What of lasting value will we get from a deficit that is more than double the entire cost of this project? Nothing that I'm aware of. Before a year is over our mission in Iraq will have cost more than $180 billion, but it hasn't increased the oil supply, reduced its price, or even reduced the risk of a supply disruption. Isn't an investment of $180 billion that could bring us energy independence within 20 years, and possibly the total elimination of fuel oil a few years thereafter, a "no-brainer?" Or are we the "no-brainers?" Must we wait for gasoline to go to $5, gas lines to reappear, the economy to go into a tailspin, the rest of our money to be exported along with our jobs? How many more of our young people do we need to send to the Gulf? Enough to fill Iran, Saudi Arabia? What are we waiting for to tackle this problem? What are we waiting for?
