CNN asked for user suggestions to deal with our fossil fuel dependence. Many of the responses were pretty good. Like this one:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'D')o American policy makers and politicians realize that since 1966, we have added 100 million people to the U.S. -- all energy consumers? If the Senate amnesty bill becomes law, we can expect (to add) 60 million to over 100 million people to the U.S. -- all energy consumers -- just over the next 20 years! We must cut domestic consumption and develop alternative sources of energy. But what progress can we achieve if we cut consumption by half while we allow the U.S. population to double? There are no alternative sources of energy that can cope with unlimited population growth! Therefore, any real solution to our energy problems must be accompanied by serious measures to curb legal and illegal immigration, the driving force behind the U.S. population growth.
