Unless you are, say, a family with oil ties to Saudi Arabia, the headline probably scared you.
I will go on record by saying that although I am not happy with the oil prices going up, it may indeed be the best thing for America in the long term.
No, not for any environmental save-the-platypus reasons — just old-fashion we-need-to-be-self-sufficient reasons.
- We burn 25 percent of the world’s oil but only have 2 percent of the world’s oil reserves — see a problem yet?
- We cannot continue to rely on other countries for our energy (or food or supplies or insert just about anything here).
- China and India’s energy demands are expected to double by 2030 (they would then import more oil than the U.S. and Japan combined).
I suppose this is where you look for some witty insights to my mind. A "bio" of sorts. Here is the deal... I ride motorcycles, smoke cigars, golf, kayak, fly, race my car through the mountains, write (a lot), and travel extensively. I am almost old enough not to care what other people think about me...almost. ~ Godfather
