Yes, Americans are! But not to oil.
Americans are addicted to progress, productivity, peace, and
enjoyment of high
quality lifestyles that they have earned.
Oil is today's main source of energy. |
|
Politicians
would be wise to stop lecturing Americans about being addicted to
oil. If politicians had been effective statesmen over recent
decades, there would be no oil shortage today. |

|
Politicians
should have educated the environmentalist know-it-alls
about how technology nearly ensures pollution-free oil drilling,
recovery, and vastly reduced emissions. Had politicians done their
work, the US could be close to
self-sufficient from domestic off-shore and terrestrial sources. |
|
Within a few
decades some smart American scientists will invent and perfect new
sources of energy. That will obsolete oil. |
|
Relatively soon
there will
be no need for that messy, greasy, dirty, oozing commodity. Oil
will remain under the sandy feet of the
still uncivilized. |
|
Until new
sources of energy are perfected politicians should do their jobs.
That includes organizing the civilized world into a buying cartel of
consuming nations to purchase from the selling cartel known as OPEC. |
|
Until new
sources of energy are perfected politicians should mind their own
business. They should do more teleconferencing and less flying
around in fancy jets -- including Air Force One -- to lecture
Americans. |
|
Until new
sources of energy are perfected Americans should drive vehicles of
their choice, heat their homes to comfortable warmth, and spend
their salaries as they choose. |
