During his town hall meeting in Concord, NH this week, America’s Mayor, Rudy Giuliani, spoke about energy independence. Other than ethanol, which I think is a waste of perfectly good eatin’ corn, he’s just about where I’m at on the matter… nuclear, clean coal technology, some solar & wind, dependent on future advances in battery technology (I would add trash-to-energy to the list), and the two biggies (at least for me): Build more refineries and
take advantage of existing oil deposits in the US…
As he says, in the short term, while we’re fighting Islamic fundamentalism, we’ll reduce our reliance on the Middle East- home to a number of our enemies. At the same time, Hizzoner notes that energy independence and the attendant technologies will be good for America in the global economy- it’s good for business.
