Fossil fuels...

[mcantar18c]

... are not running out anytime soon. In addition to the shitload of oil we're sitting on top of here in the US and not using (20+ years worth at current consumption rates, I have links for this somewhere... and this is excluding the SPR), it turns out there's enough nat gas in (under?) country to last us a few centuries and even eliminate our dependence on foreign oil.

Yeah, now if only we didn't have an oppressive government that won't let us tap those resources we'd be set.

[BREATHER]

I don't know about this issue being oppressive, but I beleive they're trying to save "our" fossil fuel until the other sources dry up... Which is pretty fuckin stupid, because if we get to that point we got more trouble than we need..

Yeah, down the road, if we and canada are the last hold outs for oil, and gas, you can expect interference from outside our country, well, kind of like Iraq!

[Bailey Guns]

Uhhh...no. Not like Iraq at all.

The Communist Chinese government could see fit to invade the US so that they could take control of our resources. Who knows the Chinese government might even tell their people that the securing of the US oil reserves would pay for the invasion and war.

Never mind.

They'd better bring a shitload of body bags.

Oh, I can think of a few trillion reasons the Chinese won't invade.
