Utopia Talk / Politics / Greatest achievement of GWB era: US Oil

If you would have asked me - and probably did on the original Utopia boards - if the US could possibly be energy independent within the next 20 years I would have laughed in your face. But thanks to the forward energy thinking of many within the GWB Administration the groundwork was laid for what today has been an astounding and stunning fossil fuel turn around on the world scene. http://www...xports-saudi-arabia/index.html |
