Yeah, we have investor lemming behavior in full hysteria right now, indeed, the last week. We Americans do need to do a lot of things differently. We need to get ACTUAL energy independence, qand pretendong a bunch of windmills will do it is MORONIC. We need to retool our heavy industries. That is for the most modern, automated and enviornmentally sound operation as the law of deminishing returns alows. We need to get compact nuclear and mini nuclear power generators adding into the grid, and powering small towns over the next 24 months, and it CAN be done. We need part of that $770 BILLION to be spent on refineries capable of creating diesel, oil and gasoline from methane. Hell, the methane (part of it) can POWER the refinery!
We need the next generation of batteries ASAP so that we can get 4-500 miles out of hybred cars at highway speeds at a SANE cost and a SANE replacement cost/schedule of the batteries.
We need to get oil from WHERE EVER IT ACTUALLY IS! Modern slant and horozontal drilling can concentrate the pumping in a very small area, making the process very sound. We must TOP pretending that people, not the normal climate cycle, is responsible for the majority of climate change. We need to recognise that the best way to limit polution is by being the BEST and mosr EFFECTIVE and most EFFICIENT manufacturing base in the world. Made it so that no matter how cheap the labor, if you arn't using out 21st Century methods, you won't be competitive!
Do this, and the DJI hits 20,000 as we're working. Do anything else, and we have another 25 year recovery as brought to us by FDR.
