The Great Republican Depression and the End of Cheap Oil

The end of cheap oil is here, and the end of oil is near! Getting OPEC to come clean about honestly measured reserves is a hard task for sure. We can’t wait for them to tell us when they are down to the last few shipments, and the Obama boys best get on it before it is too late. Personal Windmills may soon be the only way to boil water for tea in the U.S. as we are far too slow in developing Wind and solar on big enough scale to compensate for the coming end of oil. We cannot afford to go nuclear, we need this limited supply resource for Strategic military uses first. We have already dipped deep into the world’s supply of fuel for reactors and must realize that it is finite and soon to end also. Solar, Wind, Wave, Tidal, Hydro and Geothermal are the infinite, perpertual, renewable sustainable power sources we have access to right now in practical useable form. We pray for fusion, Zero-point electric, and various perpetual motion devices but we don’t have them in our hands, and must concentrate on developing current day realities, or we can turn Iraq and Iran into glassy, radioactive parking lots for Hummers, and steal the oil there, and live with the guilt for a while? Like Hiroshima, it passes and is covered with the lies of historians, and is not of great consequence to a truly capitalist mind, just one more option we have in our hands. I like Wind and Solar better myself.
