More Fucking Oil

It just makes no sense. Finally, the no contest bids are in and the usual players are getting the oil contracts in Iraq (though just to service, not to own).

Bushy Boy got what he wanted: all that fresh goop in the hands of the West.

But economically speaking, passing over all the dead Iraqis, dead Americans and billions of dollars, it still would have made more sense to spend that money on developing other ways to run engines. But is that true?

All that oil is just sitting there. Maybe it is cheaper to have a war and then just get the oil, hopefully on the cheap. Surely, as the supply increases, the price will come down.

A huge underground lake of oil is still cheaper to go after than the slim possibility of developing a positive energy flow hydrogen fuel tank. Or is that because I, like most people, just don’t have the facts?

The new energy must have three characteristics:

It must be plentiful
It must create zero emissions at all phases of production and use
and
It must give off more energy than it takes to create it.

The obvious choice seems to be hydrogen fuel created by solar energy.

No messy corn. No filthy coal. No greasy wars.

The civilized world moves forward by looking forward. Come on.
