That doesn't solve the problem.
We have (and have long had) the solutions for the energy needs. The prostitute greenies won't let us use them.
The MSM and government schools have robbed you guys of an education.
We have more than enough oil inshore and offshore to provide our needs for generations to come. The greenies won't let us harvest it. They insist we must buy it elsewhere and pay the enemy's price, and that we must let our enemies harvest it from off our shores (much as we do the fish in our territorial waters).
We don't even need the fossil fuels we have.
Raw sewage, fed through a refinery, has the same chemical properties as crude oil. It just costs a little more to process.
We can't build more refineries here because the greenies won't let us. They make us buy it from other countries, whose construction they do not oppose.
Currently, crude oil costs so much that it would be cheaper to go the sewage route, and the money it would save us on disposal and toxic cleanup would more than pay for the expense we do have. Additionally, you could use solar and geothermal heat to aid the process.
There are motionless supercooling / thermotransfer processes in existence (i.e. TADAPTOR -- aluminum tubes filled with liquid helium, compressed and decompressed by sound waves as a condensor, pioneered at Los Alamos), and these could transfer their heat to banks of seawater. The water used to cool the systems could transfer the heat through a double system, using the primary transfer steam to heat secondary transfer steam in a secondary set of turbines, which would generate electricity or more heat for a heat bank to transfer back into the cracking chamber. The resultant steam could be sea water, distilled, recondensed, desalinated and ready for human consumption.
We have had, since the late 1980s, a superior insulation material . . . Fiberglass, sandwiched in stainless steel, with a factor of R-90 per inch in 1988, and improvements made since then. It doesn't appear on the market because of the adverse effects on the current market-share holders.
We HAVE a superior power storage system, the SMES (superconductive magnetic energy storage), which the hypocritical greenies will not allow to be built anywhere, lest it allow us to be more efficient and less externally dependent while building fewer power plants (which Greenies claim they don't want built but nonetheless demand the firstfruits thereof).
We have never NEEDED foreign oil.
They MAKE coal in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michigan.
We don't need to dig coal mines.
Solar power is free, except the initial and maintenance cost of the solar panels.
Geothermal power is the same, as is hydroelectric. Hydroelectric need not be a destroyer of fish and game. We have magnetohydrodynamic power generation technology which could produce plenty of electricity from all that water going by, and it could ALL be channeled through fish ladders.
The puppet greenies will never allow that, as it would make it harder for their puppeteers to control the markets for food as well as energy.
California built a series of energy-cogenerative seawater desalination plants in the 1960s, and those were abandoned because greenies are not sincere, and their hyperwealthy patrons (puppeteers) wanted to keep the market cornered by fossil fuels and make drinking water scarce and profitable.
Ethanol can be made as a byproduct of the wood-pulp-to-paper process, and more than a dozen energy crops could generate it as well. Waste foliage and produce would also be a source, with the precipitate (biomass) converted along with the raw sewage into crude oil. Corn prices went up as a result of the petroleum spike, not ethanol production. The latter was cited by petro-mafioso-conglomerates to scare people out of the bio-fuel market, at least until they can figure out how to corner the market and withhold the means of wealth production from the grass roots...
We designed (and France builds) a clean, safe kind of nuclear reactor, called the Liquid Metal Cooled Fast Breeder Reactor, which refines and reuses its own fuel and recycles a great deal of radiotoxic byproducts, reducing the amount of waste generated (and reusing much of that amount).
Then there is the Hafnium reactor, which functions by using soft X-rays to excite a Hafnium fuel rod (half-life 60 years) into producing gamma rays, which heat a transfer medium and produce power.
We can't build any of these reactors here because the greenies won't let us.
Chrysler, when they built their $22-billion production plant (now owned by Fiat), was PAID by utility magnates not to build it eco-friendly and energy-cogenerative.
Public universities are restricted in their cogenerative abilities because of a public non-competition policy.
EVERY industrial process which generates heat could be used to co-generate electrical power.
My 1974 Dodge Dart, with a 318 c.i.d. engine, got 20-25 mpg, which is more than the late model Dodge I just sold, with a 150-c.i.d. engine.
The Lancia Aprilia, antique in the 1970s, got 53 mpg and was a 5-seat family car with plenty of power.
The 1988 Honda CRX Si got 65 mpg, and production was immediately halted in favor of the sport model, which produced lower horsepower, had a bigger engine and got 45 mpg max.
The industry is building LESS efficient, not MORE efficient cars, which means more, not less use of petroleum.
Turbine engines, which can easily be made 70-90% efficient, as opposed to gasoline (16% max) and diesel (30-40% max) piston engines. and turbines can burn ANYthing, allowing a fuel switch according to which has a lower market price. Each of the Big 4 test marketed a production model (not a prototype) of a turbine-engined sportscar in the 1960s, and the test drivers all wanted to buy them at any price. They were mothballed and later destroyed.
In 1963, a turbine-engined bus was test marketed and performed superbly, with the only difficulties (quickly remedied) were with the transmission and the engine-braking capabilities desired in a high-mass vehicle.
France has been running turbine-powered locomotives for decades. The USA has yet to field one, though we designed the engine for the French train.
We have the technology, the ability and the insfrastructure to do all this.
Why don't we? Because the greenies have tight (and well-paying) connections in the hyper-wealthy circles which profit from our not using the technology we have, and they are experts at destroying industry by use of propaganda..
Moreover, with respect to resource deprivation, the enemy knows the real agenda, and they tout it all the time.
LBJ's goal was to DEPRIVE the rest of the world of resources and leave US as the sole provider. The problem is that the tables were turned early on.
The greenies and foreign enemies are the reason why we will always pay a higher price and never be a clean, efficient, eco-friendly country.
Ironic, isn't it?
