		<description>We will destroy you!  Good read
The OPEC minister will look you in the eyes and state:
We are at war with you infidels and have been since the embargo in the 1970's. You are so arrogant you haven't even recognized it. You have more missiles, bombs, and technology; so we are fighting with the best weapon we have and extracting on a net basis about $700 billion/year out of your economy.  We will destroy you! Death to the infidels!
While I am here I would like to thank you for the following: 
developing your 250-300 year supply of oil shale and tarsands.  We know if you did this, it would create millions of jobs for US citizens, expand your engineering capabilities, and keep the wealth in the US instead of sending it to us to finance our war against you.
 Thank you for limiting defense department purchases of oil sands from your neighbors to the north.  We love it when you confuse your allies.  
Thank you for over regulating every segment of your economy and thus delaying, by decades, the development of alternate fuel technologies.
Thanks for limiting drilling off your coasts, in Alaska , and anywhere there is a bug, bird, fish, or plant that might be inconvenienced.  Better that your people suffer!  Glad to see our lobbying efforts have been so effective.
Corn based Ethanol.  Praise Allah for this sham program!  Perhaps you will destroy yourself from the inside with these types of policies.  This is a gift from Allah, praise his name! We never would have thought of this one!  This is better than when you pay your farmers NOT TO GROW FOOD.  Have them use more energy to create less energy, and simultaneously drive food prices through the roof.
Thank you US Congress!!!!
And finally, we appreciate you letting us fleece you without end.  You will be glad to know we have been accumulating shares in your banks, real estate, and publicly held companies.  We also finance a good portion of your debt and now manipulate your markets, currency, and economies to our benefit.

THANK YOU AMERICA !AND BARACK OBAMA</description>

		<description>"Democrat Barack Obama’s campaign and environmental groups said McCain’s proposal threatens U.S. coastlines and does little to reduce American dependence on foreign oil. Obama spokesman Hari Sevugan said McCain’s hope to “simply drill our way out of our energy crisis” mimics the approach of the Bush administration [USA Today]. "

I think Barack isn't thinking...  Energy is a MAJOR PROBLEM and every little bit helps!

His statement also tells me he's not thinking forward.  I say this because there is no cost competitive transportation energy source to oil and none on the horizon.  Don't tell me there's an alternative without telling me what it is.  I don't see it. 

If you think Hydrogen or Electric, think twice.  Hydrogen will most likely be made with electric.  Electric...  you gotta make it and send it.   Electric bills are already climbing and our electric grid is maxed already.  Solar or wind for electric won't work either because you can't put up enough solar cells or wind farms to generate the electric that will be needed to move us from gas to some form of electric (this includes Hydrogen vehicle) transportation.

If electric were to become our main source of power, can you imagine what it will cost to heat and cool your homes?  My electric bills have more then doubled since a few years ago, how about yours???</description>
