And yep, it's pretty damned close to Junk-Science Time. Bigtime. Now, the Kyoto Global Warming Earth Is Dying The Children The Children bunko scheme was an easy one to see through. Europe, make that France and Germany in particular, had this grandiose scheme for taxing sources of unburned hydrocarbons and the like; the big polluters pay scazillions of dollars, and the little polluters get energy credits. Credits that can be then sold to the big polluters. France derives 76% of IT's energy from nuclear power, so once Kyoto is signed, sealed and delivered, it's off to set up get-your-energy-credits/lemonade stands all around the world.
Our whackjob lefties love the idea, but hate nuclear power, so they wander around for a while trying to get a handle on which canard to put their money on. Protest nuclear power as they've done in the past...with great success...or PUSH the Euro deal that says your dead in the water as an economic superpower if you DON'T start building nuke plants with great rapidity. They sigh, they have another latte or five, and come to the conclusion that they simply CANNOT buck Europe, especially the French, so DAMN THAT BUSH FOR POISONING THE WORLD AND CAUSING KATRINA.
Okay then. Energy shortage time again, Kyoto or no Kyoto, Katrina or no Katrina. Now we take a trip (if you're a lefty, pssst, it's an imaginary trip so don't pack a bag) aboard the Messenger Machine That Repeats Yesterday Ad Infinitum. I like to call it a Time Machine for short, and that goes for you extra-large types too, so all aboard:
Gas is getting expensive. REAL expensive for some folks and supplies are dwindling and the economy is going down the tubes because of it. If we could only find alternate sources of power, power that wasn't derived from the processing of fossil-fuel, we'd be beholding to no one and, why hell, everybody would eventually be rich!
In walks Harvey Braniac and he's got this patent for a brilliant, invigorating, new idea to generate power. Did I say it was patented? Mentioned brilliant didn't I? Okay, but here's the problem; private investors are leery and the damned Federal Government won't even LOAN him the money he needs to build a working prototype.
Now can you beat this? Here is our SALVATION, handed to us on a silver platter, and the GOVERNMENT is keeping it under wraps because they are in league with the oil companies and the arabs and they HATE the fact that we can drive anywheres we want!
Sure it sounds familiar but it was a regular rant back in the early 70's when gasoline prices went from 20 cents a gallon to 80 cents a gallon in the blink of an eye. And never fear, the hue and cry will soon ring across the land...the inventions are coming, the inventions are coming, and the Government is hiding them...
Done deal. Write it down, remember where you wrote it down, then look back and chuckle when the fission-motors/hydrogen from water engines/magnatrometers-that-use-the earth's rotation/sun-powered gizmo's start making noise in the news, because they will. Death, Taxes, and the governments willingness to show how much money they've invested in alternative energy sources - the universal guarantees to all of mankind.
