How healthy is the Gulf ... one year later ?

[His Highness the TibetanMonkey, the Beach Cruiser Philosopher]

Supposedly the US isn t exactly oil or natural gas depleted, so what
the hell gives with that.

It's the 'let's use theirs and keep ours' philosophy.

It's a good idea to keep our reserves if we ever suffer a blockade. ;)

Why don t we have the most solar and wind derived energy to draw upon?

Until we utilize the highway median strips, these will
remain as a novelty.

Gas is too cheap to worry about alternative energy.

Why not dam up our Grand Canyon in a couple of locations? (it would
even look better and function a whole lot better than it does now)

First you'd need to change the law regarding national parks.
In my part of the world, they are busy REMOVING dams, not
building them.

Yes, China just built one that is the greatest in the world. Are they
dumb?

The solution is nuclear, but I'm afraid that ship has
sailed due to a few dead japs.

No dead Japs yet... They died of the Tsunami, not the nuclear
accident.

And whatever happened to good old fashioned PREVENTION, something as
simple as riding a bike? Is something or someone keeping us dumb and
wasteful? I'll think about it while I ride my legendary Beach Cruiser.

Ya. That's my point.

Yeah, look at Libya. We may be next. ;)

No. Now is the time to begin these projects.
We need the jobs and we need the energy.
Win/win.

I know, but waste is part of a system that needs to create jobs.

I mean they could be created around alternative energy as well, but
that sounds too complicated for the people who fear change. Hey, not
me!

Since they build 30 coal fired plants to every hydro plant
then I'd say, ya...They are dumb.

Only to satisfy the Hungry Lion in the West...

They had no use for them when they went around on Flying Pigeons.

I believe my point was clear.

Sort of. The dead will come later.

And you can keep driving those hush-puppies you're wearing..

No beach cruiser philosopher ever wears that. I wear flip-flops.

Have you found an answer as to WHAT or WHO is keeping us dumb and
wasteful?

(This applies to bike facilities as well, which are my immediate
concern)

Fukushima and New Orleans are the biggest catastrophes in history that
could have been avoided with simple solutions.

I propose that every project out there needs an old fashioned
"SUGGESTION BOX" to get feedback from ordinary folks.

Stupid design is all over the place, starting with the Universe.
