Why the US will not become energy dependent

[TheMercenary]

It was a bit of a shock. I have come to expect a more contrary response.

No leader does solutions. Only wackos or the uneducated believe leaders can solve problems. Leaders can screw things up - as George Jr demonstrated repeatedly in international relations, economic growth, "Mission Accomplished", science advancement, world cooperation, and even going after bin Laden.

Leaders can only make solutions possible. Solutions must always come from the heroes. Leaders are only heroes in movies and bad fiction. In the real world, solutions come from the little people, but only when leaders such as George Jr are not, for example, having science papers rewritten by White House lawyers.

Any solution to greater energy independence ... well some solutions existed in Chrysler, Ford, and GM under names such as Precept. Then George Jr came to power to make innovation unprofitable and unnecessary. Clinton made some solutions possible. Then George Jr simply made things worse. Even intentionally undoing anything Clinton because the wacko political agenda said everything Clinton is evil. Any hope of innovation from American patriots was dashed in a political agenda that said we must even protect _OUR_ oil. All part of a solution that only advocated more consumption and massively subverted possible solutions.

Any leader can stifle solutions. No leader can make solutions happen. A leader can only provide the necessary attitude and knowledge so that the heroes can solve those problems. It will take a long time to undo George Jr's damage for any energy independence.

My god. The man was so dumb as to even hype hydrogen as a fuel - therefore making realistic solutions even that much more difficult.

Anyone else seeing a pattern in these responses over the years?

Yeph. It explains the many reasons for so many problems in America. It also comes from the few who ask "when do we go after bin Laden?" TheMercenary routinely avoids that question. Eight years later and bin Laden still gets all but protected by George Jr and people such as TheMercenary who fear to ask that question.

TheMercenary, when do you finally use profanity to described bin Laden? Oh. bin Laden is good for George Jr lovers.

Thanks for making my point. Again. No substance.
