This is a source of financial woe and pollution and is supportive of Terrorists.We need to stop kow-towing to Oil Barons and get down to finding and employing Clean alternative Energies.The answer is NOT to drill in the few Nature Preserves we have left,which would only last a few years and solve nothing.The answer is not Nuclear energy-which produces the most dangerous waste and provides convenient targets for terrorists-and it is certainly not going back to coal.There are plenty of viable alternatives.Stop whining about the cost of conversion:it will be well worth it and create plenty of new jobs.
