I'd say
that the report is probably predicated on current use and current suppliers. There is an ocean of oil under the US
that we have not been allowed to drill, even though it would have done our economy and our national security a lot
of good. This disaster in the gulf will only make matters worse for drilling and I have to wonder about the
circumstances of the accident. The timing of it, coming right after Obama said he would authorize more offshore
drilling and on earth day at that, seems a little too good to be true.
We do need to focus on alternative energy
as our best bet, but biofuels, solar and wind are really not viable for major producers. The actual capacity, the
pollution from them and the ROI are all too bleak be be realistic. Nuclear power is the future and until we get
serious about most of our energy coming from that source, we are just wasting our time and money.
