Oil

The best thing oil did was save the whale. It also gave us energy for a long time. It has had a good run but all things must end.

All wars have been over energy. In the times of kings, kingdoms would fight for land. What is land but energy. Kingdom's would fight for lands and the people in them. The people represented energy. They produced crops which were energy. Raised animals, taxes, and buildings all forms of energy or used to purchase energy. MHO.

I liked the interview. Brian I wish I could give you my car because you deserv it more than I.

Well I am 51. I would have guessed you were much younger by your comments.

I would use the term 'greed' instead of energy. 'Greed' for the items that were important to that time in history.

Brian is commended for his conservation efforts, and I applaud him. The Gulf War was about oil....but was it because of Iraq's wanting to overtake Kuwait's oil fields and shipping ports, or our fear (and some allies) of how our economy and way of life would suffer because of it. The Iraq war was/is about oil also....an unstable dictator in control of a lot of oil, while all indicators showing flagrant defiance with possible WMD's, which most democrats and republicans in the House and Senate agreed upon (as the country becomes more stable our troops will no longer be needed).

We all need to conserve more, and look to alternative energy sources for the long run. As we get closer to alternative sources (I believe it will take a decade or two) drilling for oil on our own borders is a good choice for the transition to maintain our economy, way of life, and possibly relieve tensions world wide.
