MAXUM, just so you know as soon as I read that I stopped reading. Last time I checked at the pump we don't enter any political information. This issue goes way beyond party lines.....
I will tell anyone if you don't look at other energy sources we're going to get it handed too us in the long run. Travel to China with me next month and a 4th grader could see the growth and money infusion going on over there. In fact, when they build over there most companies work 24 hours to get the project done so they can get to the next one.
The US is quickly losing its economic dominance as China's population is way bigger than our. So we either use our smarts now or we'll look like dunces later. I work down in the weeds of technology and let me tell you China is at a HUGE advantage for innovation. They're still behind us but with the $$ infusion from countries all around the world they're gaining very quickly. It's frightening what I've seen happen in just the last 10 years in the tech sector.
All that growth means China is sucking fuel and competing for the same resources we have. If you think "green" is a negative term I recommend you change your thinking. What's wrong with efficiency?
European appliances SPANK us in efficiency. Look how many computers and routers are sitting on home desks that were not there until the mid to late 90s. Flip it over and look how much current they draw and think how many PCs there are. I've got muliple in my house alone. A lot of the current requirements in your router were based on Eurpoean energy standards. If you want some of the highest efficiency heating and cooling appliances in the world, guess what, European. We've got to get Americans to change their mindsets. Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result = insanity.
