Seems to me like this whole
speech is nothing if not "hand-wringing and whining". What use is complaining about the world you live in? Get off
your lecture circuit and do something positive for a change. I've read Kunstler, and his fear-based genre is
akin to Al Gore's.
If we opened the way for nuclear energy devleopment in a serious way, you'd see oil
demand (and prices, and dependence on foreign sources) drop like our current Congress' approval ratings (lower than
Pres. Bush's, which is low indeed).
Oh, I forgot, we're afraid of nuclear energy.
Sorry Bruce, not a
dig on you. It IS an interesting speech, I just don't buy it. Sometimes I think we create the circumstances of
our own downfall, even in a personal sense but there are ways to overcome problems, and its usually by
action, not harping, and that is exactly what Mr. Kunstler does for a living. He does do an awesome
paint-by-numbers act though.
